Trimmer
538 Series Trimmer Capacitor
USONIX’s 538 Series featured on this page is miniaturized for
today’s circuitry. All ceramic construction with optically flat inter-
faces provides tuning smoothness not obtainable with compression
type trimmers.
The silver electrodes are intimately bonded to the top surfaces of
the base and rotor. The terminals and other metal parts are nonfer-
rous and silver-plated to provide excellent conductivity and trouble
free soldering.
A variety of capacitance ranges, terminations and mounting provi-
sions makes these popular trimmers ideal for nearly all applications.
