Re: Series DC Blocking cap.
LEIGH, When was the last time you ever saw a NPO .01uf DISC CERAMIC ???? They don't exist, never did. They are typ Z5u, z5t etc. I have never seen RF current ratings for disc ceramics, rf current

Re: Series DC Blocking cap.
Indeed they do. The current handling / rating is usually defined by the capacitor's Equivalent Series Resistance / ESR and its dielectric losses Dissipation Factor / loss tangent which is highly

Re: Series DC Blocking cap.
Capacitors have current ratings too. Voltage is one parameter and the current rating is another. Lee, w0vt

Yep, they show up on the various hot rod forums I frequent and are right at the top of their game. The last shipment was a comple running low mileage Ford 460 and C6 still attached going into an early

Re: Series DC Blocking cap.
The choke should be doing most of the work and the cap very little. My HB and Ameritron switches all use a generic Z5 single .01 1KV right up to 1200-1500W on HF for decades of heavy use without

<<A total of .01 is more than enough, maybe a blown .02 was already removed in the past>> Thanks Carl, It's a stock box and the schematic shows it as I've described. There aren't any dissipation specs

Find a local freight forewarder and get quots for ship and air. They combine multi items in one container for a lower cost. Ive shipped several amps as well as complete vintage V8 engines that way all

Re: Econco now rebuilding Svetlana tubes !
That¡¯s useful to know, thanks. ?I have a stock of YU204s for the 4-1000 amp and 3CX3000s for that amp but could do with a spare Thomson TH376 or two if anyone knows where to source those?Dave

Econco is now re-building Svetlana tubes. In the past, every tube rebuilder on the planet has tried, (including econco)... and failed to re-build Svetlana tubes. Apparently, Econco removes the entire

G'day John. USPS? Pack and Send? The latter uses the same courier companies but they have big accounts, so the prices are often vastly cheaper. I don't know why it costs so much to get stuff out of
