INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION
METHODS FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF DIRECT INTERELECTRODE
CAPACITANCES OF ELECTRONIC TUBES AND VALVES
FOREWORD
(1) The formal decisions or agreements of the I.E.C. on technical matters, prepared by Technical Committees on which all the
National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
(2)
They have the form of recommendations for international use and they are accepted by the National Committees in that
sense.
(3) In order to promote this inte rn
ational unification, the I.E.C. expresses the wish that all National Committees having as
yet no national rules, when preparing such rules, should use the I.E.C. recommendations as the fundamental basis for
these rules in so far as national conditions will permit.
4) The desirability is recognised of extending international agreement on these matters through an endeavour to harmonize
national standardization rules with these recommendations in so far as national conditions will permit. The National
Committees pledge their in fluence towards that end.
PREFACE
This publication has been prepared by Technical Committee No. 39, Electronic tubes and valves.
Work on the second edition was started directly after the publication of the first edition in 1958.
Drafts were discussed at meetings in Zurich in 1957, Stockholm in 1958 and Madrid in 1959. At the
Madrid meeting, it was decided that the work was sufficiently advanced for a draft to be submitted to
the National Committees for approval. Accordingly a final draft was circulated under the S ix Months'
Rule in May 1960.
The following countries voted explicitly in favour of publication:
Austria Netherlands
Belgium Poland
Canada Romania
Czechoslovakia Sweden
Denmark Switzerland
France Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

METHODS FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF DIRECT INTERELECTRODE
CAPACITANCES OF ELECTRONIC TUBES AND VALVES
Scope
This recommendation covers the measurement of direct interelectrode capacitances of tubes and
valves within the conditions outlined in Clause 4 for the following classes:
Receiving tubes and valves
Cathode-ray tubes
Gas tubes and gas-filled v alves
Phototubes, photocells and multiplier types
High-power vacuum tubes and valves
1. Definitions
In this recommendation the following definitions apply:
1.1 Element (of an electronic tube or valve). Any integral part of the tube or valve that contributes
to its operation and to which external connections can be made.
1.2 Electrode (of an electronic tube or valve). A conducting element that performs one or more
of the functions of emitting, collecting, or controlling by an electric field the movement of elec-
trons or ions.
1.3 Filament (of an electronic tube or valve). A hot cathode (usually in the form of a wire or ribbon)
which is heated directly by current flowing in it.
2. General rules for interconnections
2.1 The specified interelectrode capacitance shall be measured directly rather than derived from
combinations of two or more individual capacitance measurements. In the measurement,
elements to be excluded are connected to the reference earth. This is not to be confused with
earthing in circuit applications. A connection which is not identified, for instance to a pin
or lead marked "internal connection", shall be left floating.
2.2 When measuring cathode-ray tubes, the post-deflection accelerators (intensifier electrodes) are
left floating.
2.3 When measuring tubes and valves with a metal base sleeve not connected internally, the metal
base sleeve is left floating.
2.4 On all types where elements are connected to two or more pins or leads, all such pins or leads
shall be connected together.
2.5 In those cases where two or more elements are declared to be internally connected, the major
element is used to describe the combination. For example, the combination of a grid inter-
nally connected to a cathode shall be regarded as a cathode in the tables of connections.
2.6 For directly-heated filament types, the filament is regarded as the cathode electrode.
2.7 In all cases, when stating capacitance values, it shall be made clear which elements are connected
to the active terminals of the measuring equipment, and which are connected to the reference
earth. This may be done either in words or symbols. Certain descriptive terms are in common
use and where they are used they will have the meaning given in Appendix I or Appendix Il
of this publication.

3. Systems of symbols used for interelectrode capacitances
In the tables of the Appendices 1 and II of this publication two symbols are given for each interelec-
trode capacitance. They refer to two different systems: A and B. System A which is outlined in
Clause 3.1 is a simple system for normal use, while system B which is outlined in Clause 3.2
is a more complex system which may be used in those cases where it is desirable to give more infor-
mation.
3.1
SYMBOL SYSTEM A
3.1.1 The symbol consists of a capital C followed by a suffix of one or more small letters and digits.
The small letters, sometimes in combination with a digit, each indicate a pa
rt of the tube or
valve according to the system given in Clause 3.3.
3.1.2 Unbracketed letters in the suffix following the capital C indicate the parts of the tube or valve
to be connected to the active terminals of the measuring equipment. An oblique stroke
separates the parts to be connected to the different active terminals, but see also 3.1.6 and 3.1.7.
3.1.3 If parts of the tube or valve are indicated in the suffix on both sides of the oblique stroke,
all parts that are not mentioned are connected to the reference earth during the measurement
(except those referred to in Clauses 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3).
Example:
Symbol Cf
kia
Type of tube or valve unit: triode, tetrode, pentode
Measure between: cathode + heater
and anode
Connect to the reference earth: all other elements, shields, metal parts, etc.
3.1.4 If in the suffix no letter follows the oblique stroke, this means that the second active terminal
of the measuring equipment is connected to "all other elements, shields, metal parts, etc.",
and not to some separate part.
3.1.5 If one or more electrodes are excluded from "all elements, shields, metal parts, etc.", and
these electrodes are to be connected to the reference earth, this is indicated by showing the
letters for these electrodes between brackets.
Example:
Symbol
Ck£/(au)
Type of tube or valve: triode, tetrode, pentode, with other units
Measure between: cathode + heater
and grid + screen + suppressor + shield
+ metal parts, etc.
Connect to the reference earth: anode + elements of other units.
3.1.6 If, in the above system, the unbracketed part of the suffix consists of only one letter, the oblique
stroke will be omitted.
Example:
Symbol Ca (instead of
Ca/)
Type of tube or valve unit: mixer
Measure between: anode
and all other elements, shields, metal pa rts, etc.
Connect to the reference earth: none.

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------

— 11 —
3.1.7 If, in the above system, the unbracketed part of the suffix consists of only two letters and the
oblique stroke appears between them, then the oblique stroke will be omitted.
Example:
Symbol Cga (instead of Cgia)
Type of tube or valve unit: triode, tetrode, pentode
Measure between: grid
and anode
Connect to the reference earth: all other elements, shields, metal parts, etc.
3.1.8 If the tube or valve is a multi-unit type, containing two or more dissimilar units, the parts of
each unit will be indicated in the symbol by a subscript in accordance with Clause 3.4.1.
Example:
Symbol Cg
IT P
Type of tube or valve: triode-pentode
Measure between: g 1 of triode
and anode of pentode
Connect to the reference earth: all other elements, shields, metal pa rts, etc.
3.1.9 If the tube or valve is a multi-unit type containing two or more similar units, the part of each
unit will be indicated in the subscript of the symbol in accordance with Clause 4.3.2.
Example:
Symbol Clete
Type or tube or valve: twin unit
Measure between: cathode of first unit
and cathode of second unit
Connect to the reference earth: all other elements, shields, metal parts, etc.
3.1.10 From the above rules for system A, the following forms of symbols may be expected to occur:

small letters, sometimes in combinations with a digit, each indicate a part of the tube or valve
according to the system given in Clause 3.3.
3.2.2 Unbracketed letters in the suffix following the capital C indicate the parts of the tube or valve
to be connected to the active terminals of the measuring equipment. An oblique stroke sepa-
rates the parts to be connected to the different active terminals.

a' a"
a a'
la 2a
al all
The system a' a" is recommended
4. Conditions for measurements
4.1 For all tubes and valves, interelectrode capacitances shall be measured with the cathode cold
and with no direct voltages present, unless otherwise specified.
4.2 For all tubes and valves, interelectrode capacitances shall be measured using the standard sockets
and the standard cap connectors described in Clauses 6 and 8.
4.3 The socket face-plate on the standard socket shall be connected to the reference earth.
4.4 In those cases where the terminals do not fit the standard sockets or cap connectors, connections
shall be made directly to such terminals by using flexible shielded leads. Shielding on the
connecting leads shall be carried as close to the terminals as possible. Shielding between ter-
minals shall be used, where necessary, in order to have the capacitance measurement exclude
the capacitance between terminals outside the base or bulb.

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------

— 17 —
4.5 Standard shields (see Clause 7) shall be used where specified. When used, cylindrical shields
shall sit squarely on the socket face-plate and concentric with the tube or valve being measured.
When both a shield and a cap connector are used, the cap connector shall be concentric with
the opening of the shield.
Note: The dimensions and shapes of the standard shields have been kept as simple as possible to accommodate
the maximum number of outlines consistent with acceptable accuracy of measurement and have also been
selected to provide for maximum repeatability of measurement and ease of use.
The standard shields therefore do not necessarily provide the most perfect shielding for any particular
individual outline.
4.6 All metallic objects or dielectric materials having a dielectric constant appreciably greater than
air should be at such a distance from the tube or valve under test that a change in the relative
position between the object and the tube or valve does not affect the capacitance measurement.
This requirement does not apply to the use of the standard sockets, shields and cap connectors
described in Clauses 6, 7 and 8.
Where shielded leads are used to make connections to the tube or valve terminals, the leads
shall be arranged to have the smallest effect on the capacitance measurement.
4.7 When measuring the capacitance between the internal and external conductive bulb coatings
of cathode-ray tubes, connection shall be made to the external coating by means of a conductive
ring, such as braided bare wire wrapped around the bulb at a point approximately at the coating
centre. If the external coating has been applied in a patch so that it does not extend around
the entire bulb wall, connection shall be made by means of a finger contact located at the
approximate centre of the coating.
5. Capacitance measuring circuits
5.1 The radio-frequency bridge method and the transmission method as shown in Clauses 5.3 and
5.4 shall be the recommended methods of measuring interelectrode capacitances. These two
methods are applicable throughout the usual range of tube and valve capacitances i.e. 0.0001
to 100 pF.
Note: An advantage of the bridge method over the transmission method is that the conductive components of
the tube or valve admittance due to insulation losses, getter deposits or other leakages, can be measured
and balanced out independently of the capacitance reading.
5.2 The reference measuring frequency for capacitance measurement is 1 MHz (Mc/s). However,
frequencies ranging between 1 000 Hz (c/s) and 5 MHz (Mc/s) may also be used.
5.3
RADIO-FREQUENCY BRIDGE METHOD
An example of a bridge circuit for the measurement of direct interelectrode capacitances of a
tube or valve is shown in Figure 1. A stable oscillator, such as a crystal-controlled oscillator,
supplies radio-frequency power through a closely coupled balanced transformer (T).
Balance is indicated by a null-indicating device. For convenience the capacitors are ganged
differentially so that an increase AC, of one capacitance is accompanied by an equal decrease
AC, of the other. Balance may then be effected by varying the two capacitance branches of
the bridge until they are equal (when C„ = C l — C 2), then at balance C x = 2 AC, = 2 AC,.
The effect of capacitance to earth is negligible as point B is at a location in the bridge where
capacitance does not influence balance, and the capacitance from C to earth is across a closely
coupled low-impedance winding which does not affect the capacitance balance or the voltage
applied to the bridge.

FIG. 1. - Radio-frequency bridge
5.4
TRANSMISSION METHOD
An example of a circuit for measuring the direct interelectrode capacitance of a tube or valve
by the transmission method is shown in Figure 2. The radio-frequency oscillator voltage is
attenuated according to the range desired. The current in the unknown tube or valve capaci-
tance is amplified and measured by a tube or valve voltmeter, or by compensation.
The amplifier input is attenuated in conjunction with the oscillator output so that the various
ranges may be obtained. The oscillator-output and amplifier-input attenuators may be operated
from a common control and calibrated in convenient decade steps. It is to be noted that large
capacitances are required across the input and output so that the effects of the tube or valve
capacitances shunted across the input and output are negligible. The device is calibrated by
using a known standard capacitor or a resistor of negligible shunt capacitance which may be
calibrated in position. It is necessary to shield the parts from one another to eliminate stray
capacitances because there is no way of balancing them out with this method. (Errors may
be introduced as a result of conductance in shunt with the capacitance being measured.)
6. Standard sockets used for measurements
6.1 The details of standard sockets for measurement for tubes and valves having the bases listed
in Table I, p. 23 are as follows:
6.1.1 The construction and shielding of standard sockets and leads shall be such that, when the
holes for the insertion of the base pins and the spigots or locating lugs are covered with an
earthed flat metal plate, the capacitance between any one socket terminal and all other socket
terminals connected together does not exceed:
0.00010 picofarad for receiving tubes or valves,
0.0050 picofarad for cathode ray tubes,
0.00050 picofarad for all other types.
A spigot or locating lug contact (where present) shall be considered as an additional socket terminal.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------

-21 —
6.1.2 Holes for the accommodation of spigots or locating lugs shall not exceed the maximum dia-
meter stated in Table I.
6.1.3 The diameter of the holes for the insertion of the base pins (Dimension A, Figure 3) shall
not exceed the maximum diameters stated in Table I.
6.1.4 The socket face-plate shall be flat. The diameter (Dimension B, Figure 3) shall not be less
than the minimum values stated in Table I. The socket face-plate may have a smaller dia-
meter provided complementary screening is present, so that when the holes in this plate are
covered with an earthed flat metal plate, the capacitance between all socket terminals connected
together and an object simulating the inserted tube or valve shall be less than the capacitance
values mentioned in Clause 6.1.1.
6.1.4.1 A thin insulating film with a maximum thickness of 0.010 in (0.254 mm) may be permanently
attached to the face-plate of standard sockets to isolate non-earthed shielding members.
6.1.5 The socket shall be so constructed that the base of the tu be or valve under test will seat on
the face-plate.

lent metal and shall have sufficient thickness to maintain shape under conditions of use.
In using the receiving tube and valve shields, the shielded top cap connector shall slide inside the
shield.
Note: It is recommended that in future for any new receiving tubes and valves with parallel sided bulbs, the shielding
can's internal diameter shall be equal to the maximum diameter of the base or bulb and the length shall not be
