Basing (pinout)
Bottom view — the socket as you see it from the wiring side. Hover, tap, or focus a pin to name it. Read from the datasheet basing diagram (how to read these →).
Hover, tap, or focus a pin to name it.
- High voltage (B+)
- Heater / filament
- No connection
Viewed from below (socket / wiring side) · noval 9-pin (B9A) · basing 9M
⚡ Oxblood pins sit at B+ — hundreds of volts in service, lethal, and still charged after power-off.

Circuit Codex model
A CC0 ngspice model in the Koren form, fitted here to the published anchor — no parameters copied from other model collections. Methodology →
- Anchor
- Va=10 V → Ia=60 mA per anode (read from the published Ia–Va anode characteristic)
- Source
- Philips EZ81 data sheet, January 1970 (Double Anode Rectifying Tube), anode characteristic fig. 7Z00030-5.26.ha
- Note
- Child's-law diode (I = PERV·V^1.5); one anode unit, instantiate twice. The anchor is READ FROM A GRAPH, not from a table — unusually for this corpus, and stated plainly because METHODOLOGY.md treats graph reads as weaker evidence than tabulated points. The sheet publishes no per-anode voltage drop at all, only whole-rectifier system rows (transformer volts in against DC volts out, for stated filter and protecting resistances), so there is no tabulated alternative. The point above is taken from the solid, measured part of the curve, below the dashed extrapolated portion.
