In Reply to: Can I use a 6.3V cap in place of a 16V cap? posted by no5oh on December 18, 2004 at 21:44:26:
is that you will want to double or triple the power supply's rail voltage in order to arrive at a cap's specification for max voltage. Even if you assume the cap's manufacturer has already derated the cap for the specified voltage, I prefer to build in extra headroom.At these voltage levels, you'll end up running into only a couple of cap voltage ratings anyway so just plan to step up to the next larger voltage rating from the originals and you should be ok.
Cheers,
