Review on Elenco Capacitor Substitution Soldering SOLDERING by Kevin Henry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great Little Kit - Much better than making your own.

I was wanting to build something like this on a perforated DIP switch board when I discovered this kit at Revain. Saved me a lot of time, easier to use than mine and looks a lot prettier. For my application where I want to quickly change the capacitance on the breadboard while experimenting a bit, this works great. It didn't take long to set up and is easy to use. The only thing I changed is using different wires with a more flexible wire. The included wires would have worked great but I had others on hand so I used these. I recommend this for hobbyists or students as a great little device to change capacity very easily.

Pros
  • Range from 100pF to 1uF in 24 steps
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
