I would just use normal 500v silver mica capacitors in series if necessary. At the 100 watt level the capacitors in a trap don’t have to work too hard. Silver micas have good RF performance and easy to come by. If you use EZNEC to model your antenna it can tell you the voltage across your traps at your max power level making it easy to pick out your capacitors. You can down load a trial version that can easily model your antenna. Keep in mind that EZNEC reports the RMS voltage, while capacitors are rated for peak voltage. So multiply the EZNEC values by 1.41 to get the required capacitor rating. Then add whatever additional safety margin you think is appropriate. Roy Lewallen, W7EL |
