The original tube socket is made by machining fluororesin and fixing the pins through round cutting processing. This provides a firm hold on the vacuum tube without any play, preventing sound quality deterioration due to vibration. In addition, the excellent insulation of fluororesin makes it a key component in building vacuum tube amplifiers.
Description of materials used
Fluororesin:Official name: polytetrafluoroethylene; it has the highest electric insulation and dielectric constant among all solids, with excellent heat resistance properties.
Phosphor bronze:Used as the material for pins in most tube sockets (except L series). It has high strength, excellent spring properties, and maintains stable contact.
Gold plating:Most socket pins are plated with a non-magnetic base material followed by thick gold plating (except L series). Efforts are made to eliminate magnetic materials as much as possible from the plating.
