Default Question on voltage of electrolytic cap

"Dave" wrote in

Would it hurt anything to replace an alectrolytic cap (high temp, if
that matters) with one of the same value (220uF) but a higher voltage
rating? Seems like it wouldn't, but I thought I'd ask...

Thanks,

D




nothing,if the physical size of the new cap fits in the space of the old
cap.
Mind your ESR requirements.
Switcher power supplies need low-ESR caps.
