84/6Z4 Rectifier Capacitor ?

[gtrplayr1976]

Hi folks. Could anyone tell me what value filter cap an 84/6Z4 rectifier could handle? The schematic shows a 12uf. Thank you !

Datasheet suggests 40µ with an effective secondary impedance of at least 65R.

Thank you. So using a 16uf in place of the 12uf would be fine as long as it isn't above 40uf?

Yes. 16uF is fine. Older electrolytic tolerances were quite wide anyway. Using a 22uF might be cheaper since it's a more common value.

Thank you. I have some 22s ,and 16s.
