Hi,

I need an electrolytic capacitor, 100V/35uF. I don't have one right
now... can I use two in series, let's say 50V/68uF? The equivalent
capacity should be 34uF, and since they are in series, the maximum
voltage 100V.

Thanks


Hi Chibutul...

I think I'd much sooner see two 17's in series...

However, two caps in series isn't nearly as efficient
so while you're rounding, round up.

Which may (probably will) leave you with linearity problems,
so were it my set I'd keep on looking for a 34 at greater
than 100 volts.

Take care.
