K7 - Max external flash hotshoe trigger voltage

I'm sure we have been here before but without success. So,

1, Does anyone know the REAL max allowable voltage at the camera hotshoe from an external flash gun?

2, Does anyone know the max allowable voltage at the coax connector. (Pentax says it can trigger studio flash units) But, this is general term and we need specifics.

It is most unsatisfactory for a manufacturer to with hold proper and full technical and specification information from owners and not offer an acceptable reason for doing so. It just leaves a bad taste and lowers the standing of the manufacturer with potential buyers.

There are those of us out here who do understand tech stuff and consider this line of approach by Pentax to be unacceptable.
Well,

Has anyone got real and definitive figures here?

Looks like you've already posted in this thread, but it seems like there's an answer in the last post: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-dslr-discussion/85528-k7-maximum-a...voltage-2.html

Found it in the similar threads dialog at the bottom of the page
