High Quality Teflon Socket
Used for American five-legged vacuum tubes
Dedicated socket for US 5-pin vacuum tubes
The UY-5P is a tube socket designed to accommodate U.S. five-legged vacuum tubes.
It accurately corresponds to the UY-5P base geometry found in early U.S. vacuum tubes, such as the WE272A and WE311A, for secure fit and stable operation. There are rules for insertion directions, so check the orientation when installing.
Mounting dimensions and compatible vacuum tubes
The mounting hole diameter is 30 mm and the screw spacing is 38.2 mm. The height (H) in the dimension drawing is 12 mm.
Compatible vacuum tubes are American 5-pin vacuum tubes such as WE272A and WE311A.
Stable retention structure with precision machining
The socket body is made of fluoropolymer (ethylene tetrafluoride) machined from solid wood. The pins are integrally fixed by means of a round cutting process that does not rattle and securely holds the vacuum tube. This structure reduces the impact of micro-vibrations on the contacts during operation, enhancing the stability and reliability of sound quality. Fluoropolymers are materials with extremely high electrical insulation and low dielectric constant among solid materials. It also has excellent heat resistance, maintaining stable performance even in the high-voltage environment of tube amplifiers. It reduces electrical leakage and unwanted noise generation and is the basis for stabilizing the operation of the entire amplifier.
Reliable contact with phosphor bronze pins and gold plating
The socket pins are made of phosphor bronze for its strength and springability. The contact pressure remains stable even after repeated insertion and removal of the vacuum tube, maintaining reliable contact even during long-term use. In addition, thick gold plating is applied to the non-magnetic base material to prevent oxidation and reduce changes in contact resistance.
Basic parts suitable for classic tube amplifier production
The UY-5P tube socket is designed to consistently bring out the characteristics of classic American tubes, with a focus on material selection and machining accuracy. It is a basic part that can be used with confidence in the production of tube amplifiers that emphasize reliability.
