RADIO TUBE DIVISION EMPORIUM, PA. Prepared and Relenied By TheSYLVANIA 9823 PAGE 2 APPLICATION DATA “The 5823 may also be used as a rectifier. When so used (with starterelectrode connected through 50,000-Ohm resistor to anode), the 5823 has a maximum peak inverse anode voltage rating of 200 voles, a maximum peak cathode current of 100 milliamperes and a maximum dc cathode current of 25 milliamperes. Operation at values of de cathode current less than 8 milliamperes is not recommended because of resulting instability AVERAGE ANODE CHARACTERISTICS ANODE VOLTAGE (OC OR INSTANTANEOUS AC) ANODE CURRENT IN MA (OC OR INSTANTANEOUS AC)ANODE VOLTAGE (DC OR INSTANTANEOUS AC) SYLVANIA 9823 PAGE 3 BREAKDOWN CHARACTERISTICS STARTER-ELECTRODE SERIES RESISTANCE *200000 OHMS an RANGES SHOWN BETWEEN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CURVES TAKE HH INTO ACCOUNT MAX.
