ladybug Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 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 supplyon MERGER 10uFon PC-MIDI here : http://users.chariot.net.au/~gmarts/miditech.htm#Running there is a 10uF Tantlum (drawing at bottom of page) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raphael Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 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.Raphael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybug Posted January 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 OK i hear you !thanksis there some rule about this ?like : (maximum voltage of circuit) + (5 volt) * (number of splifs you smoked today) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 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. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LO Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 If you add the "splif"count to the equation you will always get the same answer! 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
