Description

The CT 10.11 is a series of ceramic disc trimmer capacitors, rated 250 V DC, for radio-frequency circuits [1]. The Agenda radioelectronistului (2nd edition, 1989) lists four versions, 3…12 pF (two), 5…20 pF and 6…25 pF, each with the largest value of its minimum capacitance, the smallest value of its maximum capacitance, its temperature coefficient and its colour marking; it names no standard [1].

The Agenda does not say which works made the series: for the whole section on capacitors made in Romania it lists IPEE Electroargeș of Curtea de Argeș, Tehnoton of Iași, IIS Electronica of Bucharest and IPRS Băneasa as producers, and the 1st edition (1983) names only the first three [3][4]. It is listed here as made by IPRS Băneasa; Un secol de electronică în România says that the ceramic capacitor line of IPRS passed to IPEE Curtea de Argeș in 1973 [5].

Coded as [3]:

Part Meaning
CT construction type: adjustable ceramic capacitor, disc type („trimere”)
10 (in the book’s example CT 10.11) technological family („familia tehnologică”)
11 (in the book’s example CT 10.11) package code („codul capsulei”)

A dot of paint on the body gives the range of the temperature coefficient: orange +100…−200, violet −200…−900, blue −800…−1800 (×10⁻⁶/°C) [3].

The 1st edition (1983) gives a rated voltage of 350 V DC, a dissipation factor of ≤ 20·10⁻⁴, no marking column, and the versions 5…10 pF (minimum at most 3.5 pF, maximum at least 18.0 pF) and 7…25 pF where the 2nd edition has 5…20 and 6…25 pF [2][1]. A dimension of the drawing is printed „25” in the 2nd edition and „2,5” in the 1st [1][2].

Rated voltages are DC („Vcc”). Dimensions in mm (fig. 20.65): disc Ø 10 ± 0.5, height ≤ 18, overall ≤ 21 [1].
