RF Power Triode BW1608J2F 
BW1608J2F is a water cooled, metal / 
ceramic power triode. It uses a thoriated 
tungsten filament and a coaxial structure, 
intended for use in industrial radio frequency 
heating as oscillator. Max. frequency: 
30MHZ, max plate dissipation: 50KW. 
Output power (class C oscillator, less 
driver): 118 kw
