These small Type “M” miniature air variable capacitors are excellent for use in compact equipment. Bridge type stator terminal provides an extremely low
inductance path to both stator supports. Soldering plate construction, oversized bearing, and heavily anchored stator supports insure rigidity.
Large beryllium copper compression rotor contact provides steady torque to maintain rotor position. Rotor contact and all other metal parts are nickel-plated–steatite insulator is DC-200 treated.
Mounting brushing threaded 1/4″ – 32, with flats to prevent turning– mounting
nut furnished.
Peak withstanding voltage 1250 volts on 0.17″ air gap units. 850 volts on 160-0130-001 which has air gap of 0.017 and 0.013″ respectively between plates.
3/16″ diameter shaft slotted for screwdriver adjustment.
Available in production quantities with the following features: various shaft extensions; high or low torque; silver or other platings, and MIL-C-92B types.
