Yamamoto Sound Craft MT-9P Tube Socket

MT-9P (9-pin miniature tube) compatible socket

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

Reliable holding force and low vibration construction

The socket body adopts a pin structure made of fluoropolymer machined and molded and fixed by circular cutting. This structure reduces rattling when the vacuum tube is installed and prevents poor contact and deterioration of sound quality due to vibration. It has reliable holding performance that can stably handle the delicate signals of MT-9P tubes.

High electrical stability due to fluoropolymer body

The fluoropolymer (ethylene tetrafluoride) used is a material with extremely high electrical insulation and low dielectric constant. It also has excellent heat resistance, maintaining stable performance even during long periods of operation and high-density mounting environments. It is a crucial factor in reducing unwanted electrical influences in amplifier circuits and maintaining the purity of the music signal.

Phosphor bronze pin and gold plating treatment

The socket pins are made of phosphor bronze for its strength and springability, maintaining stable contact pressure over time. In addition, thicker gold plating is applied on top of the primer treatment that eliminates magnetism, which reduces contact resistance and improves the accuracy of transmission of micro signals. It brings out the delicate expressiveness unique to MT-9P tubes without compromising on them.
