How many volts for electrolytic capacitor?

[rmc08]

In this diagram:



It shows that there is a 100uF electrolytic capacitor, but how many volts does it actually have to be? Would this be the correct one?

That one will work, go for it. I would suggest a radial-lead capacitor though, would fit better.

Thanks, I'll try that

Just FYI for your future reference; the voltage that is marked on a capacitor is its rating of how many volts it can take before it fails. So for example, you would need to supply over thirty-five volts for that particular capacitor to burn out.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I'll use that for my future references
