Precision Trimmer Caps Work Into GHz Range

The company's line of dual-tracking, precision trimmer capacitors have been expanded to operate in the GHz frequency range. The tuning screw of the split stator adjusts two capacitors at the same rate. Each capacitor has one common terminal and a new sapphire dielectric that tunes from 0.5 to 3.5 pF. The devices are 0.48" long and can be used to over 2 GHz. At 250 MHz, Q is over 1500. Pricing is $16 each/1000 with delivery times of four weeks.
