Maximum Rated Capacitance —
expressed in pF by three digits. The
first two are significant figures; the
last specifies the number of zeros
that follow. The letter R indicates a
decimal point.

1.0 –10.0 pF, 1.0 –14.0 pF and 2.0 – 16.0 pF
CAPACITANCE RANGES
• Torque: 0.5 to 5.0 oz-in (36 to 360 g-cm)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±15 ppm/ °C
• Self-Resonant Frequency: > 5 GHz at min capacitance
Dimensions are in/mm
Adjust screw slot: 0.16/4.0 x 0.020/0.51
RECOMMENDED HANDLING PROCEDURE
Tuning
The rotor should not be torqued
once maximum capacitance is
reached.
Soldering
Maximum recommended solder
temperature: 275°C.
Washing
Sealing Caps should be secured
when washing board assemblies to
prevent infusion of cleaning solvents
