ITL 5-1 Air-Cooled RF Triode (YD1160FL) — 13 kW

The ITL 5-1 is a power triode manufactured by Thomson / Thales. Thales ITL 5-1 (also designated YD1160FL) coaxial metal-ceramic air-cooled triode with 13 kW continuous output for industrial dielectric heating, plastic welding, and RF oscillators up to 120 MHz.

Key ratings of the ITL 5-1 include tube type Triode, continuous output power 13 kW, max frequency 120 MHz, construction Metal-ceramic coaxial, cooling Forced air and cathode Thorium tungsten.

Typical applications are industrial dielectric heating, plastic welding, wood gluing, RF oscillators, low-power induction heating and industrial high-frequency generators. Notable features: 13 kW continuous RF output, air-cooled convenience, 120 MHz operation and also designated YD1160FL.

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.
