Trimmer Capacitors -

Small variable capacitors, referred to as a miniature chip trimmer, chip capacitor, or adjustable trimmer.
A variable capacitor is a capacitor whose capacitance may be intentionally and repeatedly changed mechanically or electronically. Variable capacitors are often used in L/C circuits to set the resonance frequency, e.g. to tune a radio
(they are sometimes called tuning capacitors), or as a variable reactance, e.g. for impedance matching in antenna tuners.

Sprague Goodman Electronics has been offering a wide range of capacitors since 1972.
