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 Jackets®. It is designed for use in lower power output amps (20 watts or less) when no power reduction is desired.

• 1-1/8” mounting center

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 Jackets® converters come with JJ Brand EL84/6BQ5 vacuum tubes.

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. All Yellow Jackets® converters come with JJ Brand EL84/6BQ5 vacuum tubes.

9-pin plastic tube socket commonly used for preamp tubes or EL84 power tubes.

• Standoff, PC mount
• 3/4” tail diameter

4-pin ceramic bayonet socket used for 300B and 811 tubes.

• Top mount
• 2" mounting centers

Dual socket. 2 rows/12 lugs per row, 4 mounting holes. Board dimensions 5 ¼" x 3". Terminals are not pre-wired.

Dual socket. 2 rows/12 lugs per row, 4 mounting holes. Board dimensions 5 ¼" x 3". Terminals are not pre-wired.

Dual socket. 3 rows/10 lugs per row, 4 mounting holes. Board dimensions 5 ½" x 3 ¾". Terminals are not pre-wired.

8 pin socket saver with bracket. Commonly used in tube testers. Socket savers absorb the main wear and tear from many tube insertions and removals. It's much easier to replace a worn out socket saver than to replace the original socket.

• Easy mount with the precise designed tube pins
• Glassfiber filled PPS insulating material

Top mount, mounting centers = 1", chassis hole = ¾".

9-pin 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. All Yellow Jackets® converters come with JJ Brand EL84/6BQ5 vacuum tubes.

The YJ20 is for use in most amplifiers using 6V6 output tubes. The YJ20 is similar to the YJC but does not drop the plate and screen voltages. It is meant for use in lower power output amps (20 watts or less) when no power reduction is desired. The ground wire connects to the chassis-ground for cathode-biased amplifiers. All Yellow Jackets® converters come with JJ Brand EL84/6BQ5 vacuum tubes.
