PCS Series Programmable Capacitance Decade Box

  • Product No:PCS
  • Manufacturer:IET LABS, Inc. 

A broad range of laboratory grade programmable capacitance decade boxes for applications requiring a programmable impedance unit controlled manually and by a computer via an IEEE-488, RS-232 interface.

The PCS Series is a broad line of high precision programmable decade capacitors. They provide straight capacitance in a wide selection of ranges, tolerances and ratings. IET Labs also supplies custom combination substituters for capacitance and resistance as well as sources for voltage and current.

Features:
All SubsƟtuters
• Manual control via thumbwheel switches standard
• OpƟonal RS-232, Ethernet or IEEE-488 Interfaces
• 1 to 10 Decades
• Benchtop or rack mount versions

• Single or dual (two subsƟtuters in one chassis) versions
• Built to order so completely configurable at no added cost

• Special and high power versions available, contact IET Labs. with your requirements.

• Accuracy: ±(0.02% + 10 mΩ) PCS - Programmable Capacitance
Substituter 
The PCS Series of programmable capacitance substituters is ideal for both laboratory and industrial applications requiring highly reliable and automated switching of capacitance.

Capacitance from 100 pF to 10 μF/step
• Accuracy: ±(0.5% + 3 pF) to
±(4% + 3 pF)
• 100 pF to 100 nF/Step decades utilize mica
