## Symbol convention

Convention: IEC
Form: Split adjustable capacitor
Autodesk IEC-60617 Symbol Preview — Capacitive component forms; vendor family reference, not certified IEC geometry or database identifier.

This representation distinguishes the publisher's split and adjustable capacitor form.

## What it represents

This representation distinguishes the publisher's split and adjustable capacitor form. More than one capacitive section belongs to the publisher’s split adjustable form. The section/common relationships and the coordinated adjustment are part of the circuit interpretation.
Keep separate section connections visible where they serve different circuit paths. The educational preview is not a substitute for the selected component’s terminal arrangement.

## How to read it

- Document the split sections, common electrode and adjustment relationship.
- Multiple capacitive sections must not be collapsed into a single unqualified capacitance value.

## Information to show or reference

- Identify the associated device, circuit or diagram boundary.
- Document the split sections, common electrode and adjustment relationship.
- Cross-reference the equipment data, terminal mapping or operating-state legend needed to interpret the form.

## Important distinction

Multiple capacitive sections must not be collapsed into a single unqualified capacitance value.
