1419-K

The General Radio 1419-K Decade Capacitor was introduced in Catalog P (1959) and remained available through Catalog 1978.

The Type 1419-K is a three decade capacitance standard based on the Type 505 capacitor. Its comprised of the Types 980-F, 980-G, and 980-H decade units which in turn are comprised of four Type 505 silver mica capacitors. The entire assembly enclosed in a shielded enclosure. Binding post connections are provided for two or three terminal connections using a shorting link. Applications for the 1419-K include, elements in resonant circuits, bridge measurements, filters, and experimental laboratory use.
