About the ITL 15-2

The ITL 15-2 is a power triode manufactured by Thomson / Thales. Thales high-power ITL series air-cooled metal-ceramic triode for industrial RF heating and oscillator applications, stepping up from the ITL 12-1.

Key ratings of the ITL 15-2 include tube type Triode, construction Metal-ceramic coaxial, cooling Forced air, cathode Thorium tungsten and max frequency 120 MHz.

Typical applications are industrial dielectric heating, high-power RF oscillators, plastic welding, wood gluing and industrial generators. Notable features: high-power ITL series, air-cooled operation, 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.
