Newb Thinks He's Figured the Optimized PSU

Okay, sorry for the long post, but i really do need to know if the 35v capacitor is acceptable.

Everything else im pretty happy with, and i reckon it should work.

As for maplins, theyre only 5 mins walk from my house, it would be handy to get them from them.

I only use maplins for small things i need, beacause yeah, they are a bit of a rip off (to say the least).  :stuck_out_tongue:

Im pretty sure the 35v cap will not do because its 25v in the schematic for a reason.

Im not really sure where i could read to find a solution.  :-\

Thanks for the help anyway goblinz.

I use rapid all the time - they are great!!!

overrating v on a cap is ok, as long as you have space for it

(larger v rating usually means larger cap)

underrating is not ok…

Then all is cool, thanks.  :slight_smile:
