Low-Cost Variable Caps Deliver High Performance

Claiming to deliver high performance levels at a low cost, the 1500 series Eco-Trim variable air capacitors target applications where cost and high Q are crucial design criteria. The devices are said to be ideal for use in impedance matching, filter tuning, interstage coupling, and antenna tuning. Capacitance values range from 1 pF to 10 pF with a rated voltage of 250 Vdc and an operating temperature of -65°C to +125°C. These capacitors are available in five mounting styles for computers and surface-mount applications. Pricing is $1.95 each/2,500 with delivery times from four to six weeks.
