Could you identify this part?

Hi all, I received a bunch of items and this one I could not identify.

It's a spare part from the Tardis, I believe the Doctor would pay big bucks for one.

Good, because I have 20 of them 😀

optocoupler?

It looks like it is not. Putting an ohmmeter between the 2 "C" terminals reads a few ohms whatever the polarity is. The same goes if I read between the "In" and "Out". Resistence is infinite between any "C" and "In" or "Out".

They look very much like delay lines. They could also be filters.

What you measure is compatible with a line/RF filter.
A low DC resistance L from input to output, "maybe" same between grounds ("C" might mean "common" , oldspeak for Ground) and one or more low value capacitors from hot to ground.

*If* you were wishing to analyze it or something, drive it with a sweep signal, load it with something, 10K is as good as anything else to start, and measure/trace what comes out.

Hi,
I agreed with Elvee. It is possible that it is a delay. They used something like that in old computer memory and analog scanners. Since you have 20 what about breaking one apart and see what it is in inside.

OK, got it from the eBay description (his description was very hard to read since it has numerous items and the guy had a very long description with all sorts of fonts and colors).

Anyways, here it is:

60pF input, 20uH bridge, 60pF output.

So, this seems to be a low-pass filter. Right?

Yes, LP filter - maybe intended for video or stripping RF off audio. Rough calc gives 5MHz cutoff and about 600ohms impedance.

With those values and 600R source and load you get a 6MHz low pass, so its some sort of video filter

Thanks for all your answers. This forum is very helpful.
