- I still question this assertion that mica degrades at HF. According to the best information I have ( which I will be glad to post if anyone cares) mica has a loss factor of 2x10^-4 at frequencies up

- Unfortunately that's not the main issue. What's relavent is how they perform relative to other types (e.g. ceramic). You expressed the opinion that they degrade more than other caps as f increases, a

- I have a mica cap. here on my desk that I use for a paper-weight. It is made by Captron.....5100 pf @ 3000 peak volts. The current ratings marked on it are: 9.1 amps @ 3000 khz 8.2 amps @ 1000 khz 6.

- Doesn't one also have to consider the reactance of the cap at a specific frequency and the result change in possible breakdown E of the cap? A cap with 50 ohms of reactance and 10 amps flowing throug

- The only problem with mica caps is the expense for HV high-current units with low lead inductance compared to ceramic types. Otherwise, I'd use 'em.73, Tom W8JI W8JI@contesting.com

- Yes, V consideration is why the allowable current flow decreases at low freqs. Cheers, Mark. - R. L. Measures, a.k.a. Rich..., 805.386.3734,AG6K, www.vcnet.com/measures. end
