Description

EF Johnson 50-150 Dual Section Air Variable capacitor, 50 pF Each (actually measures 66 pF each)

EF Johnson Dual Air Variable Capacitor – Type 50-150
Genuine E.F. Johnson Co. dual-section air variable capacitor, Type/Cat. No. 50-150. Labeled 50–150 pF per section at 7500 volts with 0.125″ air gap. ¼-inch shaft. Approximate dimensions: 14″ long (including shaft) × 4⅜″ wide × 4″ high. Classic rugged USA-made RF component ideal for high-power amateur radio transmitters, linear amplifiers, or antenna tuners. Ceramic insulated construction.
 
Part identification: Nameplate shows Type or Cat. No. 50-150 (also marked CAP μμf 50-150, VOLTS 7500, AIR GAP .125). This is a dual-section E.F. Johnson air-variable capacitor. The “50-150” designation is the type/catalog marking for the capacitance range per section. No additional serial number is visible on the plate in the photos.Specs (from nameplate + your measurements + typical construction)
