Description

EF Johnson 70 D 90, 27 pF - 76 pF Single Section Air Variable Capacitor 9000 Volt

Specifications & Information
Genuine E.F. Johnson Co. (Waseca, MN) single-section air-variable capacitor, Type/Cat. No. 70D90.Your measured / stated specs:
  • Sections: 1
  • Capacitance: 27–76 pF
  • Dimensions: Length 8″, Width 4¼″, Height 4″
  • Plate spacing / air gap: 0.250″
  • Voltage rating: 9,000 V
  • Shaft: ¼″ diameter
Construction details:
Heavy aluminum end frames, aluminum plates, low-loss steatite insulators, and standard ¼″ shaft. The 0.250″ plate spacing and 9,000 V rating place this firmly in the higher-voltage Type D family, designed for medium- to high-power RF service. These units were commonly used in amateur radio transmitters, linear amplifiers, antenna tuners, and other high-voltage RF applications where wide plate spacing is required for reliability under high RF voltages.
 
Condition notes : Clean used. Free-turning shaft, good plate alignment, and intact steatite supports. Nameplate partially worn but still clearly shows 70 / 9000 / .250 and 70D90.
