About the ITK 15-2

The ITK 15-2 is a power triode manufactured by Thomson / Thales. Thales high-power ITK series water-cooled metal-ceramic triode for high-capacity industrial RF heating, induction hardening, and oscillator systems.

Key ratings of the ITK 15-2 include tube type Triode, construction Metal-ceramic coaxial, anode cooling Water, cathode Thorium tungsten and max frequency 100 MHz.

Typical applications are high-power industrial RF heating, induction hardening, plastic welding, industrial RF generators and large-scale heating systems. Notable features: high-power ITK series, water-cooled anode, metal-ceramic coaxial and thorium tungsten cathode.

Power triodes are three-electrode grid tubes used as RF oscillators and amplifiers in industrial RF heating (plastic welding, induction heating, drying), RF-excited CO₂ lasers, broadcast transmitters and particle accelerators. In oscillator service they work with vacuum capacitors in the tank and matching circuits.
