Cap Question

Post by Mcdoodle »

I accidentally broke a cap off of the nes motherboard. It was a 22uf 50v and I found a 22uf 100v cap. Would that work or would I have to get another cap?

That's fine, you want to match the capacitance (uF) and at least match the voltage. 50v and 100v are the maximums, so having a capacitor with a higher maximum rating won't hurt anything.
