Question for Scott: i work in the tv shop of a major hotel/casino in
vegas...what am i missing, derate ? ex. if a 10 ufd @ 16 volt needs to
be replaced, usually it is replaced with a 25 volt...that helps with
spare part inventory, and records show, so far no second replacement,
of cap. Please no flaming, i really want know...TIA Gene


You're not missing anything. Although I recommend buying only caps
rated for 105'C because they seem also to last longer than the 85'C
spec ones. But that's exactly what I mean.
