Key Specifications & Information
  • Brand: Bud (Bud Radio Products)
  • Model: 865
  • Type: Single-section air dielectric variable capacitor
  • Capacitance: 14 pF minimum to 104 pF maximum
  • Plate spacing: 1/32 inch (0.03125 inch)
  • Shaft: 1/4-inch diameter
  • Dimensions: Length 4⅝ inches, Width 1¾ inches, Height 1¾ inches
  • Construction: Ceramic end plates (marked “BUD”), aluminum plates and frame, dual-bearing support, solder-lug terminals. Classic mid-20th-century Bud design suitable for receiver or low-to-medium power RF use.
Voltage Rating: Approximately 1500 V peak (based on the 1/32-inch air gap per standard ARRL plate-spacing guidelines). Units with this spacing are typically rated in the 1200–2000 V range depending on exact plate edge treatment and application.This is a compact, well-built single-section tuning capacitor ideal for classic radio restoration, QRP transmitters, antenna tuners, or experimental RF projects.
