Additional Details

The UF1427 series are air dielectric trimmer capacitors offering a capacitance range of approximately 0.8-4.5pF, although specific values may vary slightly across the UF1427 family. Sprague-Goodman's design ensures stable electrical characteristics and minimal drift over time. The high Q factor of these capacitors minimizes signal loss. The mechanical construction is robust, providing smooth and reliable adjustment. The components are often used in high-frequency applications because of their superior performance. They are typically mounted directly onto a printed circuit board (PCB). Care must be taken during soldering to avoid damage from excessive heat. The adjustment screw allows for fine-tuning of the capacitance value. The operating temperature range is broad, accommodating many environments. Sprague-Goodman is known for manufacturing high-quality trimmer capacitors for over 75 years. The UF1427 is a part of a broader range of trimmer capacitors manufactured by Sprague-Goodman.
