Hi
Can I use a 10uf 50v Cap in place of a 8uf 50v Cap ? .

Yes, unless the specific value of the capacitor is used to define a time interval.

 

Hello,

Depends on the application.
Usualy electrolytic wll have quite high tollerances.

It depends on the circuit and the tolerance of the original cap.

 

To replace C6 !.

Whoever drew that "schematic" should stick to their day job. I have no idea what it does and won't even try.

It is from a Paper Shredder, Ime just a Plain Ole Sparky not a Electronics engineer !

It says in the file name what it is !

I was trying to understand how C6 interacted with Q1. There's so much wrong with that schematic that I can't even force myself to try to understand what it's doing.

I have drew it has per the actual PCB !

With D5 in the orientation shown, Q1 can't turn on. The connections to the body of R15 have to be wrong.

When we draw schematics, we draw them so that circuit function can be discerned. We draw wires using multiples of 90 degrees unless it's an exceptional case (e.g. flip flop).

Yes sorry about that, could not flip the Q1 for the correct orientation

 

So can I use a 10uf 50v Cap in place of a 8uf 50v Cap !.

 

could not flip the Q1 for the correct orientation

Q1 still can't turn on with D5's anode on its collector.

Ok , thanks for that will have to " Go back to the drawing " as they say, another reason for maybe it not being correct , is the info is taken from the bottom looking up !, will revise and come back , thanks for all your replies .
cheers

Paper Shredder :
Is this a better Drawing ! .

 

Edited again !

 

Is this for an AC circuit for US or outside of US? The cap is a bypass for the emitter, provides decreasing impedance as frequency goes up to the common emitter which is strangely conducting on the negative cycle. What’s the part number of that transistor?

Hi
Thanks for your reply, 240v, UK voltage , Transistor A44-331 .
