Re: 125 Degrees Capacitor's

Sorry for the resurrection, but I felt like I had something important to add.

It's nothing new, but if the design was for a higher temperature (125C for instance), it was for a reason. As an engineer myself, another engineer wouldn't specify a temperature rating of 125C just to make the design more robust. It's all about cost and matching component life of all the components together so that the 'weakest link' breaks at about the same time as all the other components.

That said, if you increase the rated voltage, most people...
