High accuracy and wide range makes the 1071 capacitance decade box suitable for applications in industry and education.

It is both compact and robust, housed in a metal case that provides complete screening, with a protective rubber cover to guard the unit against everyday wear and tear.

The 7-digit thumbwheel switch enables simple and precise setting of the required capacitance value.

Clear Visual Indication: To make selecting and reading the setting easy the 1071 incorporates colour coded digits: μF - red, nF - white, pF - yellow.

Features

10 pF to 100 μF
1 % accuracy
In-line readout
Colour coded digits
Safety terminals
Bi-polar working
Supplied with protective cover

Safety Terminals

The 1071 connections are via safety terminals that are compatible with standard plugs, 4 mm shrouded plugs, bare wires, and spade terminals.

These terminals are specifically designed with safety features including limited opening distance and a raised flange around the metal connection surface. This ensures that the clearances are sufficient to make the exposed metal parts touch-proof.

Added Protection

The 1071 capacitance decade box comes fitted with an ergonomic rubber cover providing increased protection and durability. It has a textured grip for comfortable handling and side openings to place labels.

It is easy to remove if the user prefers a stand-alone unit or to house the instrument in the optional 9026 carry case.

1071 Applications

General purpose capacitance substitution
Calibration of capacitance in measuring devices
Finding optimal operating values in circuits
Service work, troubleshooting and maintenance
Educational use in electronics and physics
