Re: Leads on 25v 2200uf caps?



Hey thanks a lot for the reply.

I actually feel safer using 16v now...I might just go with that.

But your suggestion for the leads was very helpful. Don't know why I didn't think of that earlier! I can go either way if I choose now....

I have a DIY synth project I am working on. The power supply is a 9v AC/5V DC supply (used for powering c64 SID chips).

The 9v rail has a full wave bridge rectifier with two 2200uf caps in series right after it.

The designer of the circuit specified 25v caps in the BOM. He stated the reason is to expect double the voltage after the rectifier but says 16v "should be fine".

So myself being OCD...I want to be safe and use 25v caps but the vias for the caps are too tiny for the leads of the panasonic 25v caps I have. And, obviously, I don't want...
