ATLynxer Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) Hi I see that on the schematics, or TechWiki, on the Lynx II there are 4 capacitors with 10uF and 6,3V. I see in the reality, that they are 16v. It's a pity because I bought on purpose 10uF 6,3V to recap... I measured current and it's about 5V (4,8V) on 3 of them and a little more of 2v on C27. I think I could use the 6,3V maybe... What do you think? On Lynx I they effectively are 10uF 6,3V....

+karri Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 6.3V is more than 4.8V so you are safe. Using a 6.3V capacitor on higher voltage like 9V would be a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks...I think so... Maybe it could be if the D13 goes out of order and 9v begin to go around.... but in that case I think also that capacitors would be the last problem... Only...why put 6,3v in the project and 16v actually? More safety? Edited December 18, 2016 by ATLynxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 There is only one reason: they located a cheaper batch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level42 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 IMHO the margin between 5.0 operating voltage and 6,3V specced for the caps is a very minimal margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLynxer Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) IMHO the margin between 5.0 operating voltage and 6,3V specced for the caps is a very minimal margin. The Lynx I works with 10uF 6,3v without specific problems due to capacitors.... The current has not to exceed 5v. If it does..it goes to 9 and fries chips. In this case it could fry also the capacitors....but it would be the last problem... Anyway.... I'm too prudent and so I don't think I will use the 6,3 caps... :D :D Edited December 18, 2016 by ATLynxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
