? caracitors voltage ?

[ladybug]

Hello !

How do I determine the voltage of a polarized capacitor ??

I mean is there some rule for this ??

I need to know the voltage of :

on MIDIBOXPLUS : 1uF (c6 + c5) ; 10uF (c3) ; 2200uF (c7) ; last two are on the power supply

on MERGER 10uF

on PC-MIDI here : http://users.chariot.net.au/~gmarts/miditech.htm#Running  there is a 10uF Tantlum (drawing at bottom of page)

Hello,

Just use 16V capacitors or higher.

You can check the voltages suggested by Thorsten by looking at the Order-Lists on the MBHP-pages. The circuits are very similar to the older stuff like Merger and MBPlus.

For the MIDI-Interface 16V are more than enough. The voltage of the Gameport is just 5V on pin 9.

OK i hear you !

thanks

is there some rule about this ?

like : (maximum voltage of circuit) + (5 volt) * (number of splifs you smoked today)

There's no specific rule on this.

Just think about the highest voltage your cap. can get. If its close to the specific voltage eg. 15V you shuold take a higher one (25 or 35 Volt).

The only rule is: Never go under the specific voltage eg. a 10V type for 15V applikation. This could burn the caps.

If you add the "splif"count to the equation you will always get the same answer!  8)
