Decade boxes are test instruments which use a series of resistors, capacitors, or inductors to replicate different electrical values. They can be quickly and easily substituted into a circuit and replace any standard value component. Their ability to be configured to nearly any resistance, capacitance, or inductance makes decade boxes a convenient way to find the optimum value for circuit operation. They are ideal for verifying the accuracy of test equipment prior to use as well as troubleshooting.

### How they work?

Decade boxes are passive devices that consist of switches and either a series of resistors, capacitors, or inductors of different values arranged to form "decades". Decades are set up in factors of ten. For example, a resistance decade box may have a 5-ohm, 2 ohms, and two 1-ohm resistors in the first decade. The second decade may have a 50 ohm, a 20 ohm, and two 10-ohm resistors. The third decade may have a 500 ohm, a 200 ohm, and two 100-ohm resistors. With this combination, this three-decade box can be switched to any value from 1 ohm to 999 ohms in 1-ohm steps. Some decade boxes may have 6 or more decades to allow for very wide ranges and highly precise values.

Decade boxes are characterized by their range, maximum resolution, and accuracy. Using a decade box for testing consists of setting the box to the desired value and hooking up the input device such as a transmitter, controller, multimeter, etc. The display value of the input device should match the set value of the decade box.

### Types of Decade Boxes
- Resistance Decade Boxes
- Capacitance Decade Boxes
- Inductance Decade Boxes

### Things to consider when selecting a decade box
- Is this for simulating resistance, conductance or inductance?
- What range is required
- How much resolution is needed
- What level accuracy is preferred

### Applications
- Field and laboratory work
- Educational establishments
- Design work
