Hi all,Is it ok to use caps that are a higher voltage than the circuit states providing that they are the same uF rating?Thanks in advance.

Generally speaking, yes, not a problem.For more specialised applications (like say a low ESR capacitor in aSMPS) you have to be more careful when substituting caps.Dave :)

I see you haven't moved since last time we were in contact, David! Watch out for those rogue technicians who sabotage coffee mugs...
