Description

Western Electric KS-8534 9-82 pF Approximately 2000V Dual Section Air Variable Capacitor with Ceramic Coupler

Key Specifications:
  • Manufacturer / Marking: KS-8534 (Western Electric / Bell System style designation), unit #708 stamped on end plate
  • Sections: 2 (dual section)
  • Capacitance: 9 pF minimum – 82 pF maximum per section
  • Special feature: Sequential (progressive) meshing — when one section reaches full mesh the other section begins meshing
  • Plate spacing: approximately 1/32 in (0.031 in)
  • Shaft: ¼ in diameter × ⅜ in long with removable ceramic coupler
  • Overall dimensions: 4¾ in L × 3 in W × 3¼ in H
  • Approximate peak voltage rating: 1500–2500 V (typical for 1/32-inch plate spacing in this heavy construction)
  • Construction: Heavy bolted metal frame, multiple terminal posts, ceramic insulation/coupler
This is a robust dual-section air variable of the type associated with Western Electric / Bell System (KS-series) equipment. The sequential meshing design and ceramic coupler make it suitable for specialized RF applications, differential tuning, or progressive capacitance change.
