Description :
Can I substitute higher voltage and tighter tolerance ceramic capacitors in an application?

Answer :
Substitution of higher voltage and/or tighter tolerance ceramics will work in essentially every application. Higher voltage parts will even result in greater reliability, due to the thicker dielectric, and to the testing protocol.
