The PL36 was designed as a line timebase output valve for television receivers.

The design dates to the 1950s, when sets were black and white and screen sizes of 14 - 17 inches diagonal was common.

The maximum positive peak voltage on the anode is 7 kV and the screen dissipation is up to 5 W.

The wide glass tube envelope is 28 mm in diameter and, excluding the IO base pins, is 90 mm tall.
