About the GLA-01-5S
The GLA-01-5S is a variable vacuum capacitor manufactured by Comet. Higher-range Comet GLA variable vacuum capacitor with 15 to 150 pF for high-power motorized automatic matching and antenna tuning.
Key ratings of the GLA-01-5S include type Variable, capacitance range 15–150 pF, working voltage dc 15 kV, max current 40 A RMS, tuning mechanism Bellows motor-driven and series GLA-01.
Typical applications are high-power automatic antenna tuners, motorized plasma matching, broadcast automatic tuning and industrial RF matching. Notable features: 15–150 pF 10:1 tuning ratio, 40 A high current, motor-drive optimized and comet GLA series.
Variable vacuum capacitors allow the capacitance to be tuned under high RF voltage and are the key element of RF matching networks for semiconductor plasma processing, broadcast antenna tuning and industrial RF generators. Selection is based on capacitance range, test voltage, RF current and drive type.
