Capacitor Mismatch
Posted by: MegaImg on 2020-04-28 08:59:31
I am recapping a Mac SE/30 Analog Board rev C.. the question is on the 100uf cap...the schematics on the net, put this 100uf at 16v...but my board has 25v and must of the people out there...what is the right info?

I’d go with the 25v to be safe. Putting a higher voltage than required doesn’t hurt anything, it just means the capacitor will continue to work at that higher voltage.

Ok, so it must work with the 16v...the original cap was 25v, but I order base on the schematics...the schematics show 16v
