    Can I replace a 1000uf 6.3v for a 1000uf 10v cap?

    mouser is out of the 6.3v caps so is it ok to use a higher voltage raided cap?

    http://www.mouser.com/index.cfm?hand..._pcodeid=64712

    also these are good cap's right? low esr's??

    I heard when replacing the cap's alsmot alwsy try to keep the UF the same but the voltage can be higher as thuis shouldnt have any effect on the circuit?

      it will be ok if it is small enough to fit.

          Luxman R-5045 - Capacitor at amplifier output broke, can i replace with higher capacitance ?
          by mikkele86
          Hello Im renovation a Luxman R-5045

          On the attached picture there is a cap 0.047uF (47nF) and a resistor, 10ohm. What is their purpose ? and what would happend if I were to replace the caps with lets say, 10nF or 100nF ?
          because thats what i got in stock :/

          The switch has served me for 10+ years (was new when I bought it). It's a nice switch with connections on the back which makes for quite a clean desk. Reason for taking it apart was that the cooling fan was noisy so I expected it to be dirty/dusty inside and the need to order a new fan. What I found was that it was very dirty/dusty and some electrolytic capacitors which needs attention. There are 3 capacitors which needs to be replaced but the ESR on some of the other ones might be bad as well so I think I'll replace them all. Original...

          Is it no harm to replace with capacitor without ripple current rating?
          by chth96
          When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.


          Judging from above ESR Meter Table,I think It is necessary to replace this sms capacitor.So I visited local electronics shop,and I purchased 160v 2.2uf rubycon YK capacitor.
          But when I browse through rubycon YK datasheet,I found that there is no ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf specification. But On the contrary, I found 39 mA ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf SMS capacitor.
          Rubycon YK DataSheet (b...

          Opinions/Advice on Do/Should I replace ALL Electrolytic Capacitors on old equipment?
          by RetroComputingGrotto
          I've just been repairing some (very) old speakers with a loud hum that occurred as soon as you powered them on regardless if any actual audio is played through them. I work in a School so it's 99% likey that the Teachers have hardly ever turned the power off on them for well over 10+ years.



          As you can see the top large capacitor on the right has a bulge on the top so defincately needs replacing. As the one next to it is exactly the same capacity and voltage I planned to replace them both.


          What is your advice/opinion on whether or not on old(er)...

          Is it okay to replace 1/2 watt resistor with 1 watt resistor in AC/DC adapter?
          by chth96
          I have purchased an 100-240v AC/5v 2a DC adaptor from aliexpress,and a month ago It smelled burning when I plugin it powerstrip.
          Since then, This AC/DC adaptor have been out of order.
          But A few days ago,I replace 0.5 watt resistor with 1 watt resistor(1ohm) in this adapter.
          After replacing resistor,It succeed to recharge all of android phone.And When I measure voltage on the two pins of USB port,It shows 5.5v
          Is it okay to replace 1/2 watt resistor with 1 watt resistor in AC/DC adapter?
          And Is there any possibility that it will suddenly explode as well as to be out...
