Some 15 members of the class of profiles with five components have been identified. These profiles have a central core component and two pairs of conal outriders, thus exhibiting the highest degree of formal complexity observed. No good examples of pulsars with six or more profile components are known.

Members of the five-component class have very similar physical parameters and emission-region geometries. An analysis of their emission geometry indicates both that the core and conal beams scale as P –1/2 and that the 1-GHz conal emission comes from a height of some 100-200 km.
