400 SERIES INDUCTUNER

FOR USE IN VERY HIGH FREQUENCY APPLICATIONS, MILITARY AND COMMERCIAL


The Mallory 400 Series INDUCTUNER is a high Q variable inductor with 0.680 microhenries inductance change for six turns of the tuning shaft. The minimum inductance is 0.025 micro henries. Frequency ratios of 4 to 1 are easy to obtain with practical values of high frequency trimming inductance. The 400 Series Inductuner may be used up to frequencies of 300 mcs. Most of the characteristics necessary for application of this Inductuner are shown in the electrical data : _L versus rotation, distributed capacity versus rotation, Q factor versus rotation, and a family of frequency versus rotation curves.


The unit is available in one, two, three, or four ganged sections. The Inductuner frame is constructed of 1/16 inch, electro-tin plated, cold rolled steel. The tuning shaft is stainless steel, 1/4 inch in diameter and extends 2 1/2 inches from mounting flange. Shorter shaft lengths are available in 1/4 inch increments. The shaft is supported by means of a brass sleeve bearing and is provided with stops to allow approximately 6 turns of rotation. Stops to provide less than 6 turns can be supplied. Shielding and dust protection is provided by a removable aluminum cover secured by means of locknuts. The Inductuner can be base or flange mounted.

 


MEETS MIL REQUIREMENTS


All materials, finishes, parts and processes will meet MIL-P-11268. The Inductuner will meet the following requirements as tested per MIL-STD-202:
