replacing 2700 uf cap with 3300 uf

[shaunbt123]

hi there
im replacing some bad caps on my lcd tv power supply board,but there is one which is a 2700uf rated at 16v which i dont have an exact replacement for.would it be ok to use a 3300uf with the same voltage rating.
thankyou.

of course.

What is the series of the bad cap?

Same voltage and 1 step higher should be ok if it will physically fit. but perhaps use to test then replace when you next order.

3300 uF is a bit above the "standard" 20% cap tolerance but it would probably work ok, depending on the circuit of course. I don't think it would be a problem to try it and see.

It will be fine. A 2200uF 16v would also work.
