Features of the 518 Trimmer
T
Actual Size
his tiny trimmer occupies less than .007 [.11 cc] cubic inches of space,
while exhibiting the ruggedness and capacitance range of a unit many times
its size. Its superb design assures rigid mounting stability.
A development of TUSONIX’ exclusive Monolithic Process, the sealed-in-ce-
ramic rotor electrode guarantees stability under extreme environmental condi-
tions. Precision lapped bearing surfaces afford smooth linear tuning.
