Abstract
A trimmer capacitor has a rotor electrode which slides on two stator electrodes which are on a substrate, one of which is a ground electrode connected to the rotor. To maintain accurate thickness in the trimmer, an insulating plate is applied under the ground stator electrode and on the top surface of the other stator electrode.
Claims3
In a trimmer capacitor having an insulating substrate, a ground stator plate member disposed over half of the surface of the insulating substrate, a hot stator plate member disposed over the other half of the surface of the insulating substrate having its upper surface engaged with a dielectric film, and a substantially semicircular rotor plate member adapted to slide on both the stator plate members while being electrically connected with the ground stator plate member;
- a trimmer capacitor characterized in that one half of said dielectric film is interposed between said hot stator plate member and said rotor plate member, while the other half of said dielectric film is interposed between said insulating substrate and said ground stator plate member.
