200V Vitamin-Q for coupling at 161V?

4.244.174.166

Posted by Vatron on March 20, 2006 at 07:03:42

Hello everyone,

I have some .22uF Sprague Vitamin-Q capacitors that are rated at 200V that I would like to use for coupling capacitors in my ASL MG-SI15DT single ended amplifier. Would the 200V rating have enough safety margin when used to couple between the cathode of a 12AX7 that has 161 Volts, to the grid of a 6550 via a 1k grid resistor?

Thanks

Norris Wilson
