Electronic – How to specify polarization voltage in polarized capacitors in Orcad Capture

orcad

I have a polarized capacitor like below. it's 1uF and 16V.
enter image description here

the schematic in Orcad is like this:

How can I specify that 16V voltage?

How can I specify that 16V voltage?

You do this: -

1uF 16V

You can even do this: -

1uF 16V 10%

or

1uF 16V 10% TANT

or

1uF 16V 10% ELECT

The value attribute can be however you want it to be.

You can even create new attributes (user defined attributes) than can optionally: -

  • Be invisible in your schematic
  • Be seen in your BoM.

On a slightly different note, I would change your symbol to more adequately represent the fact that is for a polarized capacitor. I would also make it less wide so that if you needed to show several parallel capacitors on grid, they don't clash or overlap: -
