There is a reason for that cosidering how this type caps work.
Putting in a 200WV cap in a 15WV application is not a good idea.


Because...

Please do your research on the 'net. If you replace low voltage one with
too high voltage ones, the cap. does not work well. Believe me.

Well, isn't this part of the net? If I knew you I might have some
reason to just accept what you say on blind faith, but then again the
curious side of me would still like to know why.

I've asked around where I work and only come up with blank stares. The
only reasons we can come up with to avoid this are cost and space. I
haven't found any electronic or physics yet that would predict such an
outcome, nor have I EVER seen such an admonition in the data sheets
from any manufacturer.

Sorry, but I remain extremely skeptical.
