[Repeater-Builder] Re: Decibel Z-Matcher Replacement Feed-Thru?

OK, here's the verdict (since several have asked):

The best match I could find was a Tucsonix 2443-007-X5S0-102MLF 1000pF
feed-thru capacitor.  It's nearly identical in length and width and even
has the same 1/4-28 threads as the original part.

Here's the datasheet:

It's available from Digikey as P/N 410-1039-ND:

While you're there, if your unit has UHF connectors installed, they
stock N type replacements:

[Repeater-Builder] Decibel Z-Matcher Replacement Feed-Thru?

[k7icu]

I have a sick Decibel DB4330 Z-Matcher with a crushed and mangled
feed-thru capacitor (looks more like a ceramic non-capacitor feed-thru
to me). Anyone know if the original feed-thru part is still available
out there?   Rough details: 10-32 x 3/8 body; 1 long 15 AWG wire ;
ceramic insulator; 0.22 mounting hole; 5/16 flat hex-shaped outside
end and a 10-32 nut inside the box.
