Is the voltage rating of an electrolytic capacitor the maximum it can handle or is it the voltage required to drive the capacitor? (If that is even a correct thing to say) What I really want to know is if I can substitute a 35v, 47 microfarad capacitor for a 16v, 47 microfarad capacitor. Thanks in advance. - Robert Schofield {pur-ee,ihnp4!inuxc,rutgers,pyramid}!iuvax!silver!sl144007 sl144007@silver.bacs.indiana.edu (192.12.206.2) sl144007@iubacs.bitnet (forwarded) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | The dark ages return!
