APPLICATIONS
For consumer and industrial equipment
DESCRIPTION:
The vanes of the trimmer are stacked on a sturdy plastic
base. The color of the base indicates the maximum
capacitance (see Electrical Data Table). The dielectric is a
film of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polycarbonate
(PC), polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE), or polyethyleneterephtalate
(PET) which supports the vanes in such a way that good
stability is ensured and no microphony can occur.
Flux absorption between the vanes is prevented.
Cleaning with solvents is not advised.
Versions are available with either a vertical spindle, or a
horizontal spindle (see dimensional outlines). Both versions
have top adjustment by means of a screwdriver or trimming
key and bottom adjustment by means of a key.
QUALITY LEVEL:
Sampling and data evaluation for quality level in accordance
with “MIL-STD-105D” and “IEC 60 410” :
