The YJS is a specialized, current-limiting/voltage-conditioning adapter for use in most 20 to 100 watt amps that use 6L6, EL34, 6550 or 6V6 output tubes. The YJS is for amps with fixed bias power tubes. (Fixed bias tubes have their cathode connected directly to ground and a negative DC voltage applied to their control grid). All Yellow Jacket® converters come with JJ Brand EL84/6BQ5 vacuum tubes.

• All Yellow Jacket® converters come with JJ Brand EL84/6BQ5 vacuum tubes.
• Converts most audio amplifiers with 6L6s, EL34s, 6550s, or 6V6s and similar-based tubes to EL84s without modification or rebiasing.
• Converts: Class AB to Class A operation
• Drops Output Power: 50% to 70%.
• Safe for all common amplifiers and transformers.

Yellow Jacket® converters are a type of specialized adapter which permit the use of EL84/6BQ5 power tubes in place of 6V6, 6L6, EL34, and 7591 type vacuum tubes.

9-pin Micalex ceramic tube socket for auto-wave soldering applications.
Measurements:

• Center PCB hole diameter -0.73"
• Mounting pin diameters - (9 holes at 1.00") and (3 holes at 1.26")

The YJShort is shorter than the standard YJS converter, allowing for use in amps that do not have room for the standard converters. It is a specialized, current-limiting/voltage-conditioning adapter for use in most 20 to 100 watt amps which use 6L6, EL34, 6550 or 6V6 output tubes.

Measurements:

• Center PCB hole diameter -0.73"
• Mounting pin diameters - (9 holes at 1.00") and (3 holes at 1.26")

Single socket, 2 rows/6 lugs per row, 4 mounting holes. Board dimensions 3" x 3". Terminals are not pre-wired.

This adapter allows you to convert 6GH8A tubes to use instead of the hard to find 7199, T-6GH8A not included.

Replacement foam tube stabilizer for Fender® Hot Rod Deluxe and Hot Rod Deville amps. This foam block slides over the first two preamp tubes. This genuine Fender® replacement is made in the USA.

Great for experimenting! Use anywhere you would use a normal octal tube socket, but use screw terminal strips to attach wiring. No need to mount socket and solder leads.

7-pin ceramic plate socket used for 813 tubes. Bossed mounting holes and recessed rivets allow sub-panel mounting. Made in China

• Bottom mount
• 1 ¼" chassis hole required
• 1-⅞" x 1-⅞" oblong mounting centers

Replacement 4-pin tube base for use with tubes such as the 811A or 300B.

The YJUni is a simple pin-converting adapter for use in most amps with 6V6 or similar based tubes like 6F6, 6G6, 6K6, 6Y6, etc. The YJUni is shorter than standard Yellow Jacket®. It is designed for use in lower power output amps (20 watts or less) when no power reduction is desired. If your amp is cathode-biased, then no bias adjustment is needed. If your amp is fixed biased, then the bias should be adjusted just as it would be according to the standard biasing instructions included with the amp.

The YJC is similar to the YJS, but for use in amps with cathode-biased power tubes. Cathode-biased power tubes have a bias resistor connected from their cathode to ground. The ground wire of the YJC is used to bypass the amp’s cathode bias components so the Yellow Jacket® converter’s internal bias components are used instead.
