Yamamoto Sound Craft MT-9P Tube Socket

Socket compatible with MT-9P (9-pin miniature tubes)

This product is a tube socket compatible with MT-9P standard vacuum tubes, such as EL84, ECC83, 12AU7, and 12AX7. The mounting hole diameter is 19mm, and the screw spacing is 28.6mm, making it suitable for compact chassis designs. It can be used in a wide range of applications, including preamp and driver stages.

Reliable Grip and Low-Vibration Construction

The socket body is made by machining fluororesin and features fixed pin structures created with circular cutting. This design minimizes wobbling when the tube is installed and prevents contact failures or sound quality deterioration due to vibration. It provides reliable holding performance, allowing stable handling of the delicate signals of MT-9P tubes.

High Electrical Stability with Fluororesin Body

The fluororesin (PTFE) used in the socket has excellent electrical insulation and low dielectric constant. It also offers superior heat resistance, ensuring stable performance even during long-term use or in high-density installations. It suppresses unwanted electrical effects in amplifier circuits, preserving the purity of musical signals.

Phosphor Bronze Pins with Gold Plating

The socket pins are made of phosphor bronze, which offers strength and elasticity, maintaining stable contact pressure over time. Additionally, thick gold plating is applied over a non-magnetic base to reduce contact resistance and enhance the accuracy of transmitting small signals, fully bringing out the delicate expressive qualities unique to MT-9P tubes.
