About the ITK 2-1
The ITK 2-1 is a power triode manufactured by Thomson / Thales. Thales ITK series water-cooled metal-ceramic triode with 5 kW output for compact industrial RF generators, induction heating, and oscillator applications up to 120 MHz.
Key ratings of the ITK 2-1 include tube type Triode, output power 5 kW, construction Metal-ceramic coaxial, anode cooling Water, cathode Thorium tungsten and max frequency 120 MHz.
Typical applications are industrial RF induction heating, wood gluing, plastic welding, RF oscillators and compact industrial generators. Notable features: 5 kW water-cooled triode, compact ITK series, metal-ceramic coaxial and water-cooled anode.
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.
