The "greater than the DC voltage it will see, plus at least 20% spare" would be the first rule. Be aware that a capacitor can see more than the power rail voltage in some circumstances (i.e charged in one direction, then having the opposite voltage applied it). Double the DC voltage is good. The value specified on the circuit diagram (if present) is ideal. Ken _______________________________________________________________________ Ken Stone sasami@... otherunicorn@...
