Voltage strength is another advantage of MLCCs. Typically with electrolytic capacitors, there is a 2 to 2.5 time voltage derating rule. What this means is that for a 10V circuit, a 25V rated electrolytic should be used. The voltage breakdown chart here shows that MLCCs have much higher voltage strength than the electrolytics. Due to this, a 10V rated MLCC can be used in a 10V application.
