Hi,
Are there any downsides to using 1N4007 in all situations as it can work in all of them but has a higher rated voltage?
I'm not sure on things like this because I have heard differences in opinions, particularly with using higher voltage caps. (Most people agree it is fine. Whereas, I have also read Geoff Tanner's opinion that it isn't good to put higher voltage electrolytics into lower voltage circuits as they don't get enough polarisation.)
