Would it be safe to put 6.3V capacitors on 5V rails in PC power supplies?
I read somewhere that in PC supplies one should use 10V caps on 5V rails. And for example, National Semiconductor's datasheet for switching regulators states: Quote:
I bought some FM Panasonics to replace the existing caps but they are 6.3V rated unlike the original ones which are 10V. Also, Panasonics have much lower esr than the caps I used before so I hope replacing won't cause instability. |

As long as they're quality caps I wouldn't worry about putting 6.3v caps on a 5v rail. Panasonic FM is a quality cap, so I wouldn't worry about it.
