john:

the 35 V rated cap is probably electrolytic, which will work, but this type of cap is normally operated closer to its voltage rating to achieve the specified capacitance - but the exact capacitance isn't critical here, and the higher voltage rating means a longer lifetime at elevated temperatures. overall, the recommended tantalum type is more reliable.
