6GE5 Pentode Model

A quick trace of a NOS Tung-Sol 6GE5 measuring around 113%:6ge5 test

Derived the Spice models using Dekker’s ExtractModel tool. The uTracer has a limit of 200mA so it’s not possible to trace the extended set of curves for this valve. However, this is not a limitation to produce a good model.

Here is the triode matching:

6ge5 triode

I run a set of curves at various screen voltages from 100V up to 200V at 25V steps to generate the pentode model The saturation effect is visible on higher currents above 140mA as you can see below:

6ge5 Vs=100V
6ge5 Vs=100V
6ge5 screen current at Vs=100V
6ge5 screen current at Vs=100V
6GE5 Vs=200V
6GE5 Vs=200V
