More insidious than the much less than rated
capacitance is the fact the
inner one is rated to 35V and the outer one is rated at 50V. So rather
than just having extra ripple in your power supply, you end up with a
blown cap.
Most applications using a 6800mf cap are filtering 5~24v supply voltages.
35wv will work just fine.
My question would be ....
Did the solder monkey who made this, get the polarity correct ?
That could assist in the generation of a small Bang !
I think that the cap pictured represents a lot of labor just to recyclea little
electrolitic:-)
I expect the 2200uf came from some computer scrap we ship back for recycleing.
