Default Re: Capacitors. Is physical size important?

It is important to look at ripple current rating as well if they are filter caps. If this is under specified they tend to heat up pretty quick and turn into a salute instead.

As for working voltage, doesn’t matter as long as you don’t approach it. I’ve used 250v caps in 10v circuits fine.
