About the ITK 5-1
The ITK 5-1 is a power triode manufactured by Thomson / Thales. Thales ITK series water-cooled metal-ceramic triode for industrial dielectric heating, plastic welding, and medium-power RF oscillator applications.
Key ratings of the ITK 5-1 include tube type Triode, construction Metal-ceramic coaxial, anode cooling Water, cathode Thorium tungsten and max frequency 120 MHz.
Typical applications are industrial RF dielectric heating, plastic welding systems, wood gluing, RF oscillators and industrial generators. Notable features: water-cooled ITK series, metal-ceramic coaxial build, water-cooled anode 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.
PartnerTubes supplies the ITK 5-1 worldwide from Groningen, the Netherlands — availability, lead time and price are confirmed per enquiry. Our team can help with equivalent and cross-reference types, sockets and accessories, and supply programmes for OEM and maintenance customers. Interchangeability must always be confirmed for the specific equipment.
