The DAC32 is a dry battery diode triode that was designed for AM broadcast radio reception. Mullard describe this valve as a medium gain triode for use as an AF voltage amplifier combined with a single diode for signal or AVC (AGC) rectification.

The filament power is very low and consequently the valve is rated for a very low current.

The wide glass tube envelope is 29 mm in diameter and excluding the IO base pins it is 83 mm tall.
