Feed-through CAPACITORS were NEVER rated by "characteristic
impedance" (Zo). Not in 1964, not in 2004, not in years between.

How dare I disagree with someone who knows about every feedthrough
capacitor ever made over a forty year period by every manufacturer in
the world. Shame on me.

Why?

But think about this in relation to your statement: We both know of at
least one person (and his boss) who wants to know the Zo of a
feedthrough capacitor. Do you really think in forty years there has not
been ONE OTHER person who might have actually designed such a thing?

...on April 1st? The famous "Write-Only Memory" or WOM comes
to mind. :-)

The original question involved "Zo of a feedthrough CAPACITOR."

Capacitors rated in "Zo" of a transmission line? I don't think so.

I've never seen that in 55 years. Maybe you have?

Capacitors are rated first in Farads. Next in working voltage.

In "characteristic impedance?" I doubt it happened even once.

The word "never" is powerful. Be careful with it. Always. :-)

Right yer are, guv'nor, beggin yer pardon, yer lordship.
