The 5932 is a larger more powerful audio beam tetrode valve than the 6V6G receiver types. This was used for audio amplifiers and also as a series pass element for stabilised power supplies.

The valve is electrically equivalent to the 6L6G but is of a squat tubular construction. The box anode is 11 x 22 x 30 mm and obscures the other electrodes. The base is large at 40 mm diameter.

The wide glass tube envelope is 36 mm in diameter and, excluding the IO base pins, is 82 mm tall.
