Model CDB-10 is a hand held
Capacitance decade box that
creates a specific capacitance
value using a combination of
switches. Designed with accuracy
to meet the needs of industry and
education alike.
The CDB-10 is a compact,
convenient tool for aiding in
engineering design and testing as
well as calibration of test
equipment.
It offers 5 decades of capacitance
ranges, from 100 picoFarads to
over 11 microFarads in 100
picoFarad steps. Easy-to-use slide
switches allow for straightforward
addition and subtraction of
capacitor values. CDB-10 is a
passive device that requires no
power source.
