Variable Capacitor/ Trimmer capacitor

Can I replace a trimmer capacitor with variable capacitor in a circuit. Because I can only find a variable capacitor in MULTISIM. I have also attached the picture of the connections for the trimmer capacitor to be used. Please guide me.

Hello irsarasheed,

 

The functionality of both these types of components is the same with one difference.

Trimmer capacitors are build small and they are used to trim/adjust or calibrate the circuit, so after calibration process you or end user don't need to access them. So yes you can replace it and use variable capacitor.
