RE: [motm] Capacitor question.

Nothing to worry about.  The higher voltage rating just means the capacitor can withstand higher voltages.  It will work anywhere the 25V part works.

Hi all,

I was about to build my first module, a '410, and I was going through the parts to make sure everything is there when I noticed that a couple of the capacitors that are written as 10mfd, 25v Electrolytic in the parts list are marked 10uF50v on the cap itself.

Assuming that "50v" indicates a voltage and isnt just the model number, should I be worried that it's marked at twice the voltage on the cap?
