High-Quality Teflon Socket
A jumbo 4P type socket used for W212 and STC4212 tubes.
This product is a jumbo 4P tube socket compatible with Western Electric WE212 and STC4212. The mounting hole diameter is 105mm, with a screw spacing of 84mm × 4, making it extremely large and designed for vacuum tube amplifier applications that operate at high voltages. It is a specially designed socket that securely and safely holds transmitter tubes of the WE212 class.
Fluororesin Machined Structure for High-Voltage Environments
The socket body is made from machined polytetrafluoroethylene (fluororesin/Teflon). It has very high voltage resistance and excellent electrical insulation, allowing safe use even during high-voltage operation such as with the WE212. Its round machining ensures the pins are firmly fixed, providing stable holding without looseness.
High Retention to Support Large Transmitter Tubes
For amplifiers using ultra-large vacuum tubes, countermeasures against weight and vibration are essential. This socket combines a structure that firmly holds the tube with high-rigidity materials, suppressing poor contact and sound quality degradation due to vibration. It is designed with mechanical stability suitable for high-power amplifiers.
Stable Contact with Phosphor Bronze Pins and Gold Plating
The pins are made of phosphor bronze, which has excellent strength and elasticity, maintaining stable contact pressure over long periods. Additionally, a non-magnetic base treatment followed by thick gold plating reduces contact resistance and ensures electrical stability over time. The design minimizes magnetic materials, reflecting considerations for audio signal purity.
