KYET
A strong alternative from the same manufacturer with a higher voltage rating and identical package.
Finding a replacement for the KYET KP105J2G2001 1uF 400V film capacitor involves matching capacitance, package, and voltage. A strong upgrade path exists with KP105J2J2002, which offers a higher voltage rating in the same package.
Many alternatives are SMD or have different lead pitches, requiring board modification.
Candidates may have lower voltage ratings, wider tolerances, or different dielectric types (e.g., electrolytic vs. film).
The target is from a common capacitor family, with multiple manufacturers offering similar parts.
Yes, KP105J2J2002 is a potential drop-in replacement for KP105J2G2001. It has the same capacitance, tolerance, and package, with a higher voltage rating of 630V.
The best alternative is KP105J2J2002, which is an upgrade from the same manufacturer with a higher voltage rating and identical form factor.
The main risk when substituting for KP105J2G2001 is ensuring the candidate has the correct package (20mm radial lead pitch) and a voltage rating of at least 400V. Several parts with matching capacitance have incompatible packages or lower voltage ratings.

| Feature / factor | KP105J2G2001 | KP105J2J2002 | PX105K2C2202 | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Voltage | 400V | 630V | 310VAC (X2 Safety) | 630V / 310VAC (X2 Safety) — Higher voltage is a safe upgrade.; PX105K2C2202: Different voltage type (AC safety vs DC general). DC rating is likely sufficient but application must be checked. | |
| Package | Radial, 20mm Lead Pitch | Radial, 20mm Lead Pitch | Radial, 22.5mm Lead Pitch | Radial, 20mm Lead Pitch / Radial, 22.5mm Lead Pitch — Identical package and lead pitch.; PX105K2C2202: Lead pitch is 2.5mm wider, may not fit PCB without bending leads. | |
| Capacitance | 1uF | 1uF | 1uF | 1uF — matched; PX105K2C2202: matched | |
| Tolerance | ±5% | ±5% | ±10% | ±5% / ±10% — matched; PX105K2C2202: Wider tolerance may affect circuit performance. | |
| Dielectric | Metallized Polypropylene Film | Metallized Polypropylene Film | - | Metallized Polypropylene Film — matched |
The best alternative found is KP105J2J2002. It is made by the same manufacturer (KYET), has the same 1uF capacitance and ±5% tolerance, fits the same 20mm lead pitch, and offers a higher voltage rating of 630V, making it a robust upgrade.
