The Y644 is a pulse rated 4CX250B. The relationship to the 4X150 is
that it has the same pin-out/socket. The 4X150 is a glass air cooled
tetrode with 150 W anode dissipation and the 4CX250 is a ceramic air
cooled tetrode with 250 W anode dissipation. Generally, pulse rated
tubes can be used in place of their standard counterparts, while the
reverse is not recommended.
