Sprague-Goodman Electronics, Inc. Trimmers, Variable Capacitors GAA10002

The GAA10002 is a variable capacitor trimmer designed for applications in VHF, UHF, and microwave frequencies, including amplifiers, oscillators, filters, and RF appliances. It features a capacitance range of 1 to 10 pF and operates at a working voltage of 250 VDC, with a test voltage of 500 VDC. The device is constructed to meet military specifications (MIL-C-14409D) and offers high Q performance, with a Q factor greater than 5000 at 100 MHz. The operating temperature range is from -65°C to +125°C, ensuring reliability in extreme conditions. The trimmer has excellent stability and a multiturn resolution, allowing for precise adjustments. It also withstands significant mechanical stress, with a vibration rating of 60 g and shock resistance of 1500 g. The recommended soldering temperature is capped at 275°C, and care should be taken to avoid over-torquing the rotor once maximum capacitance is reached. This product is suitable for military and aerospace environments, making it a robust choice for demanding applications.
