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.
