Abstract
A directly-heated cathode for power electron tubes such as triodes, tetrodes or pentodes comprises a cylindrical sleeve constituted by a lattice of crossed wires forming the emissive portion of the cathode and by two conductive plates attached respectively to each end of the sleeve. In order to permit free deformation of the cathode, a flexible metallic bellows element is fixed between one of the plates and the corresponding end of the cylindrical sleeve.
