As with any capacitor, a trimmer consists of two metal plates separated by a dielectric.
Unlike other capacitor types, a trimmer capacitor may use air as the dielectric.

In many cases a particular manufacturer will produce capacitors of each dielectric material, but not in all cases.
Air is the most common dielectric for variable capacitors, followed by film.
Of course a trimmer is a variable capacitor, but normally a trimmer is used in a circuit to make very small adjustments,
while the term variable capacitor is used for components that make much larger changes to a circuit.
This is a general listing of Trimmer Capacitor manufacturers and vendors.
The types of adjustable capacitors the manufacturer produces are listed under the company name.
