IEC

Preset-adjustable capacitor

This form distinguishes a capacitor with a preset or trim adjustment. A trim or preset adjustment sets the capacitive value for the documented circuit function. The setting interface is different from a continuous operator adjustment in ordinary use.

Resistor

A resistor representation identifies a resistive component in a circuit. Different drawing conventions can use different basic outlines, while additional qualifiers distinguish variable resistors, shunts or heating elements. The value, rating and purpose are separate annotations.

A distinction that matters

IEC-style rectangular and other conventional resistor depictions can describe the same component concept, but qualifiers and documentation still matter.
