I just got a trimmer capacitor to include in a tank circuit as a part of a transmitter, it's ~3-33pF. Before I begin tuning I wanted to confirm the limits of how many times I can turn it in each direction. Consulting the data sheet from Vishay, it says:
Maximum 10 cycles: Rotation in 180° only (the
electrical and mechanical performance is not guaranteed if rotated beyond 10 cycles)
What constitutes a "cycle" in terms of distance or angle of rotation, and what is meant by rotation "in" 180 degrees? Any help/previous experiences would be appreciated.
