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

TM Just in case you are ignoring your earlier post, and sorry to
TM nag...you likely want 100uF, 35V.


Tom,

That is exactly what I was going to say. 35uF is a pretty oddball
capacitance value but 35 WVDC is a very common voltage rating.
Hey, who ever heard of a 17uF electro anyways, (besides the weird
old Philips stuff from Europe), ?

A*s*i*m*o*v
