Why don''t ceramic capacitors have codes for voltage rating?
Like other components, ceramic capacitors have a voltage rating. Looking up ''something of the same value'' in a catalogue is not the ideal way to do things. With ''low'' values, like your 10nF for instance, if it''s fairly large, a few mm long or so, then you can assume it''s a low K ceramic, and like Richard says, is probably rated for 50v or more.

6 FAQs about [Low voltage ceramic capacitors]
What are the different types of ceramic capacitors?
Ceramic capacitors are divided into two application classes: Class 1 ceramic capacitors offer high stability and low losses for resonant circuit applications. Class 2 ceramic capacitors offer high volumetric efficiency for buffer, by-pass, and coupling applications.
Which type of capacitor has the lowest volumetric efficiency?
Class 1 ceramic capacitors have the lowest volumetric efficiency among ceramic capacitors. This is the result of the relatively low permittivity (6 to 200) of the paraelectric materials. Therefore, class 1 capacitors have capacitance values in the lower range.
Why do ceramic capacitors have a low permittivity?
This effect is more prevalent in class 2 ceramic capacitors. The ferroelectric material depends on the applied voltage. The higher the applied voltage, the lower the permittivity. Capacitance measured or applied with higher voltage can drop to values of −80% of the value measured with the standardized measuring voltage of 0.5 or 1.0 V.
What is a Class 2 ceramic capacitor?
Class 2 ceramic capacitors offer high volumetric efficiency for buffer, by-pass, and coupling applications. Ceramic capacitors, especially multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), are the most produced and used capacitors in electronic equipment that incorporate approximately one trillion (10 12) pieces per year.
What is a multilayer ceramic capacitor?
Multilayer ceramic capacitors are increasingly used to replace tantalum and low capacitance aluminium electrolytic capacitors in applications such as bypass or high frequency switched-mode power supplies as their cost, reliability and size becomes competitive.
Are MLCC capacitors good for high frequency converters?
It is widely known that MLCCs offer ultra low ESR/high ripple capability and capacitance stability with frequency. For high frequency converters (>100kHz or so), MLCCs can offer greater noise reduction and ripple suppression while using fewer capacitors. In general, capacitors are rated at room temperature, low voltage, and low frequency.
