viability of substituting an extruder capacitor
June 23, 2010 02:10PM
Hi, building my extruder board, and can't seem to find 1206 style capacitors rated for 15pf 100V . 15pf with 50V is readily available. This is on the Arduino part of the extruder controller (C12 and C13), and I don't want to mess up any other components. Is this a permissible substitution? I'm hoping the original spec'd capacitor was over-engineered.

I know this was referred to in another post, but I need a more definitive answer than the one found there.

Yeah it'll be fine, the voltage wouldn't be more than 12v, and probably on 5v anyway.

Thanks! Ordered them today. Can finally check that off.
