Resistance Decade Boxes
 |
Calibrate, test, and troubleshoot a circuit without having to replace individual resistors. These boxes can apply different resistances to reduce the current in your circuit. For example, they can help calibrate a temperature-sensing circuit for use with an RTD. Adjust the resistance to match different temperature points on your RTD, then see if your circuit reads the correct temperature.
The switches are additive, so you can create any resistance, in whole ohm increments, up to 11,111,110 ohms.
Decade Boxes with Calibration Certificate Traceable to NIST—Boxes with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST have passed a test for accuracy.
Capacitance Decade Boxes
 |
Test, troubleshoot, and prototype a circuit without having to solder and desolder individual capacitors. These boxes apply a specific capacitance to your circuit so you can determine the optimal capacitance needed.
Use these boxes in testing and development in place of a capacitor. To integrate them into your circuit, make connections to the binding posts, then flip a switch or combination of switches. When troubleshooting a circuit, you'll know your issue was a faulty capacitor if you connect the box in its place and the circuit behaves as expected. For prototyping, they'll help you determine what size capacitor your circuit needs. Or, just use them instead of a capacitor if you don't feel like soldering.
The switches are additive, so you can create any capacitance, in 100 pF increments, from 100 pF to 11.111 µF.
