Capacitance Decade Boxes
Model CDB-10 is a handheld Capacitance decade box that creates a specific capacitance value using a combination of switches. Designed with accuracy to meet the needs of industry and education alike. The CDB-10 is a compact, convenient tool for aiding in engineering design and testing as well as calibration of test equipment. It offers 5 decades of capacitance ranges, from 100 picoFarads to over 11 microFarads in 100 picoFarad steps. Easy-to-use slide switches allow for straightforward addition and subtraction of capacitor values. CDB-10 is a passive device that requires no power source.
Use Model CDB-10 to:
- Select capacitance in series or in parallel combinations
- Substitute capacitance in servicing applications
- Vary capacitance levels in circuitry design, ie: oscillators, filters, timing circuits, impedance matches, rectifiers, and other RF circuits
- Determine impedance, reactance, and frequency characteristics
- Ideal for classroom education
- A standard item for electrical, industrial, and lab applications
- Used for engineering design, troubleshooting, or service
