Can someone explain the voltage quoted with capacitors in catalogues?
I need to buy some capacitors for a DIY project, but I'm a little confused as to what is required.
I have a list of items with corresponding US Radio Shack part numbers. As I want to order the components in the UK, I'm trying to find similar components from UK suppliers, but the specifications of the capacitors are confusing me.
The circuit which will incorporate the capacitors is powered by a 9V DC battery.
The capacitors I need are as follows:
1 x 10uF electrolyte capacitor
1 x 1uF electrolyte capacitor
1 x 0.01uF (10nF) ceramic capacitor
If I search for these items in the RS catalogue (http://uk.rs-online.com), the voltage displayed next to the search results for the query "ceramic capacitor" start at 100V DC, and go up to 30,000V DC. Are *any* of these capacitors suitable? Have I got the wrong end of the stick?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to help - I appreciate it.
Ah brilliant, that explains it. Thanks very much!
Thanks for the extra info.
Yes. The voltage shown is the maximum D.C. voltage that you can apply across the capacitor before the component is at risk of failing. In general terms, as long as the quoted voltage is higher than your circuit will actually apply, you will be OK.
The only exception to bear in mind is that electrolytic capacitors, because of the way they work, it's better not to use one with a maximum voltage which is hugely greater than the working voltage.
