What is a trimmer
[edit]There are 3 types of popular trimmable component, resistor, capacitor and inductor. Ls are not adjusted with screwdrivers, but with non-magnetic tools, eg a plastic hex driver.
However when the term trimmer is used it pretty well always means a preset capacitor, not the other 2. Tabby (talk) 15:46, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Merger proposal
[edit]I propose that Trimmer (electronics) be merged into Variable Capacitors. Because they a have the same purpose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.91.101.215 (talk) 05:35, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
- That would be pretty silly, considering that much of the article (including all refs) concerns resistors, not capacitors.
The article is about a class of components designed to be adjustable for purposes such as calibration, etc. regardless of what it is they're adjusting. --Junkyardsparkle (talk) 05:48, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
Variable and preset
[edit]@Sbmeirow: You said in your edit summary that "you removed the opposite of what you said in your comment, the arrow drawings were removed". That is exactly what I intended. Trimmers are presets, and are therefore not represented with arrowheads on circuit drawings. SpinningSpark 14:26, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- I see you have been editing today. Since you have chosen not to reply, I assume you have accepted what I have said and I will now reapply the edit. SpinningSpark 13:55, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- Lack of response doesn't automatically mean anything, other than I haven't replied. Even if I was on Wikipedia, it doesn't automatically mean that I finished everything that I needed to do while I was online. I'll reply again, but I'm extremely busy right now. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 05:47, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
