5201 (JOHANSON MANUFACTURING)

The 5201 is an Air Trimmer Capacitor with through hole terminals. The air capacitor is designed specifically for VHF through microwave and have become the industry standard of excellence. High Q and temperature stability are a result of proper attention to geometry and choice of optimum materials. The heart of this trimmer is the one piece self-locking constant drive mechanism illustrated to the right. This mechanism utilizes transverse slots to create a spring effect between two threaded sections resulting in substantial contact areas which insure uniform torque, high Q and low dynamic tuning noise.
