Capacitor is a great passive device to have when you want to store energy and combine with other passive components to create filters, by-passers and couplers. Quite often they are available in fixed Capacitance value form but if your application requires a variable capacitor then this 18pF Variable Capacitor is a perfect fit for you. It is also called trimmer capacitor. If your requirement is that you need some variation in capacitance value but not that frequent, then It is the product for you. There are three leads of a trimmer capacitor, one connected to stationary plate, one to rotary and the other one is common. The movable disc is a semi-circular shaped one. One of the two plates is movable, while the other is fixed. The dielectric material is fixed. When the movable plate is moved, opposite to the area between movable and fixed electrode, then the capacitance can be changed. You can use it on PCB, Perfboard, or even breadboard for your projects.
