Where electrolytic capacitors are concerned, when you're replacing them on a board that's say ... 20 years old...
Let's say we have a 10uF cap that is rated at 25 Volts.
If I replace that with a 10uF cap that is rated at 50 Volts, would that 50-volt cap be more resilient in terms of longevity and being able to handle more stress than the 25V cap ... assuming the cap will live a normal life and not have any defects throughout its life.
Does upping the voltage rating of a cap make any difference at in terms of longevity and over all "robustness"?
