New Family of Hand-Held Decade Boxes Provide a Broad Choice of High Performance Resistance/Capacitance Sources


YORBA LINDA, CA - Global Specialties announces the addition of a new line of Resistance and Capacitance Decade Boxes. The hand-held Model RDB-10 Resistance Box offers seven (7) decades of resistance, from 1ohn to over 11Mohm in one ohm steps. The hand-held Model CDB-10 Capacitance Decade Box offers five (5) decades of capacitance ranges, from 100microfarads to over 11microfarads, in 100microfarad steps. Compact (6"x3.7"x1.9") and light weight (0.95lbs.). The new RDB-10 Resistance Decade Box and CDB-10 Capacitance Decade Box are ideal for use in service, prototype, experimental, and educational applications.

The RDB-10 can be used to calibrate test equipment with an accuracy of 1%. The user can select resistances in series or parallel combinations, substitute resistance in servicing applications, vary resistance levels in circuitry design, and determine impedance, resistance and frequency characteristics. For ease of use, the unit features 28 slide switches organized in a 4 x 7 grid, allowing for straightforward addition and subtraction of resistance values. Every switch clearly displays a visible white dot when in the ON position. Input terminals accept standard 4mm banana plugs, bare wires, spade lugs or alligator clips.

The CDB-10 is a passive device that requires no power source. It can be used to calibrate test equipment with an accuracy of 5%. The user can select capacitance in series or parallel combinations, substitute capacitance in servicing applications, vary capacitance levels in 100pf increments in circuitry design such as oscillators, filters, timing circuits, impedance matches, rectifiers, etc., and determine impedance, resistance and frequency characteristics. For ease of use, the unit features 20 slide switches organized in a 4 x 5 grid, allowing for straightforward addition and subtraction of capacitor values. Every switch clearly displays a visible white dot when in the ON position. Input terminals accept standard 4mm banana plugs, bare wires, spade lugs or alligator clips.

Competitively price at a low $99.00 for the RDB-10 Resistance Decade Box and $135.00 for the CDB-10 Capacitance decade Box, Both devices are available for immediate shipment and come complete with Global Specialties' industry-leading one-year Warranty.
