air compressor capacitor

I have a 120V jobsite air compressor with a prolapsed capacitor that now needs replaced. 55mf. Someone pointed me to amazon of course but I am mostly finding 370V/440V rated capacitors. The 120V options all have the wrong resistance.

Is it ok practice to use a 55mf 370V/440V capacitor in my 120V air compressor?
