CAPACITIVE COMPONENTS
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.
Where pictures are against a graph-paper background, the small squares are mm and the larger squares, cm.
