    1403 Series Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Description of the 1403 Series The 1403 Series (Figure 1-1) are stable, labo- ratory capacitance standards. They are work- ing and laboratory standards grade. The 1403 units are available in values ranging from 0.001 pF to 1000 pF. The 1403 Standard Air Capacitors have a low di- electric constant and excellent frequency response making them ideal for testing LCR meters at various...

    1403 Series 4.3 Calibration Procedure with GenRad 1620 or AH2500A/ AH2700A Capacitance Bridge To calibrate an 1403 unit, proceed as follows: 1. 1403 capacitors with bnc connectors should have the shield disconnected at the HI termi- nal to minimize stray capacitance. The shield on the LO terminal should be maintained.
