The General Radio 1401 Series Standard Air Capacitors was introduced in Catalog M (1951) and remained available through Catalog S (1965).
The Type 1401 series is comprised of four capacitor types − 1401-A, 1401-B, 1401-C, and 1401-D. They are two-terminal air capacitors designed as laboratory reference or working capacitance standards. They feature all-aluminum construction with shielded covers. Connections are Type 274 plugs spaced ¾ inches on center. This spacing matches the Type 716-C Capacitance Bridge, making the 1401s useful as balancing capacitors when performing substitution measurements.
Specifications
- Stability: Capacitance change is less than 0.05% per year
