Sure; Just use a larger size (as in working voltage) capacitor. The value the same, just that it's working voltage is larger. Should hold up better,providing that there isn't something else causing the cap tp fry up. Typically with caps, you can go `larger' with both the value and the working voltage, but this is dependant apon whether or not the cap is used for timing purposes or not. To be safe, just get a 2.2uf @ 75 ~ 100 wv. Should solve the problems....... rich..... UUCP: rich@lakesys.lakesys.COM {always .... }
