A variable capacitor is an electronic subcomponent that allows the user to tune the device to various capacitances within its range. For example, an air-dielectric variable capacitor with a range of between 5pF and 100pF could be tuned by rotating its shaft, and would contribute anywhere between 5pF and 100pF of capacitance depending upon the angle of the shaft.

How a trimmer capacitor use?

A trimmer capacitor is a semi-adjustable capacitor placed across a variable tuning capacitor and pre-set to allow the main capacitor to track correctly with another variable capacitor on the same shaft. The adjustment takes out any differences introduced by the connected circuit.

Can you replace a 2-30 trimmer capacitor with a fixed value capacitor?

Yes you can. But the variable one is used so that you can very the frequency and it cant be varied anymore if you use a fixed capacitor.


What is a tuning capacitor?

A capacitor whose capacitance is variable (within some range). They are usually used to adjust resonant circuits or delay circuits.
