The 50V 104Z will work just as fine as the 25V type
It simply wont blow as easely in case of an overvoltage
event, but I'm sure some other devices on your board will!

Subject: Ceramic capacitor question
Another question from me :)
The Compukit UK101 has several ceramic capacitors, all marked 104Z 25V,
which judging by what I've found on the web so far makes them .1uF. My local
Maplins (sorry, that seems to be a swear word in some parts) only has 224Z
at 25V (I'd guess .2uF?) and 104Z at 50V, half the size.
What can I get away with? Or am I right in assuming I need to match exactly?
Ta for any help....
