Via Lumped Reactance Calculator

Calculate via lumped reactance with explicit inputs, units and model limitations.

Use this browser-based tool for an initial engineering estimate. Inputs remain in this page and are not sent to a server.

Enter your values, then calculate.

Method and units

For supplied lumped parameters, XL = 2πfL, |XC| = 1/(2πfC), and the LC resonance is 1/(2π√LC).

Model limits

This does not derive a via’s characteristic impedance from its geometry. Obtain L and C from an appropriate model or measurement; multi-conductor return paths and resonances may require 3D electromagnetic analysis.

Use the result in your project

Record the assumptions with the result. Check actual material and component data, evaluate tolerances and confirm the proposed construction before releasing manufacturing files.
