1419-B

The General Radio 1419-B Decade Capacitor was introduced in Catalog Q (1961) and remained available through Catalog 1978.

The Type 1419-B is a four decade capacitance standard based on the Type 980 series of polystyrene decade capacitors. Its comprised of the Types 980-A, 980-B, 980-C, and 980-D decade units. Polystyrene types offer lower dissipation factor and dielectric absorption than silver mica types. 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-B include, elements in resonant circuits, bridge measurements, filters, and experiment laboratory use.
