Re: Cap Voltage Ratings
Thanks Y'all.  
 
Now let me explain why I asked the question.  
I just got some Sprague Atoms that I ordered from Mouser. They are 50uF at 50VDC. The caps that I am replacing are ELNAs. They are 50uF at 50WV. The ELNA's are about 4 times the physical size of the Spragues. The ELNAs are about 40 years old. This size difference had me concerned.  
 
comments?
