Variable Capacitor Dual Gang 60 140pF 200pF Total Large Red Thumbwheel Knob & Screws

This is one item of new polyethylene dielectric dual gang variable capacitor which comes with two M2.5 countersink type mounting screws and a large plastic thumbwheel knob. The mounting screws should be used with care. If they are screwed-in too far with no intervening front panel they may foul the internal parts. The screws are cross head types but they are easily used with a small 2mm flat-head screwdriver. The two capacitor gangs are designed for standard MW radio use, those being a 4 to 60pF oscillator section and a 4 to 140pF antenna section.

Two 12pF trimmers are present on the rear for superheterodyne alignment. For simpler projects the two sections connected to the outer two wires would be connected together to form a 200pF variable capacitor, and the trimmers set with the vanes un-meshed for minimum additional capacitance. The connections are shown in a sketch in the additional pictures. The case body measures 20 x 20 x 12mm and the shaft extends 4mm from this.

The higher quantity options are cheaper per item.
