ELC Capacitance Decade Box Adjustable 100 pF to 1 μF 5 Decades, Accuracy ±2% DC 05

ELC DC 05 Capacitance Decade Box is a precision electronic testing instrument designed for adjusting and measuring capacitance values from 100 pF up to 1 μF with an accuracy of ±2%.

This device incorporates five capacitance decades - 100 pF, 1 nF, 10 nF, 100 nF, and 1 μF - each easily selectable via a rotary control knob. The box utilizes high-quality polystyrene and polypropylene capacitors, which provide excellent insulation resistance and a low temperature coefficient of 125 ppm/°C for stable, reliable measurements.

Each decade output is accessible through 4 mm safety sockets, facilitating convenient connection and integration with measuring setups. Safety is enhanced by the inclusion of a discharge pushbutton, allowing safe release of stored charge in capacitors. Rated for a maximum voltage of 300 VDC or 230 VAC at 50 Hz, this decade box performs reliably up to 1000 Hz frequency.

The robust construction features a metal frame and gold-plated contacts on the switches, ensuring long-term durability suitable for rigorous industrial and laboratory use cases. Its compact size, measuring 100 mm in length, 427 mm in width, and 72 mm in height, makes it easy to handle and install in test environments.

Applications include electronic component testing, calibration tasks in quality control, research and development laboratories, and educational instrumentation. The device complies with relevant industry standards such as ANSI/ESD S20.20:2014, BS EN 6134051:2007, and EN 61010-1, guaranteeing safe operation and dependable performance.

The box features five decades: 100pF, 1nF, 10nF, 100nF, and 1μF. High insulation resistance is ensured by polystyrene and polypropylene capacitors. Rotary control allows precise capacitance adjustments with 100 pF resolution.

Output connections provided via 4 mm safety sockets on each decade. Equipped with a discharge pushbutton for safe capacitor handling. Maximum voltage rating is 300 VDC or 230 VAC at 50 Hz up to 1000 Hz. Robust metal frame with gold-plated switch contacts enhances durability.

Compact dimensions: length 100 mm, width 427 mm, height 72 mm. Suitable for precision electronic component testing in industrial and laboratory environments.
