For purchasing information, please see Information page 

The separation into transmitting/receiving sections is rather arbitrary. 

The transmitting types are seen as having wider-spaced vanes to enable operation at higher voltages.  However for many applications they are interchangeable.

Split-stator types can be used as simple single capacitors with either a single stator or both in parallel.

Many of the trimmers have short shafts that can be used or adapted for use as manual tuning capacitors.
