Is there a pin-compatible replacement for MPP204J2A0701?

Yes, several candidates like MPP254J2A0701 and PX224K2C0702T share the same radial package and 7.5mm lead pitch, making them physically compatible. However, electrical parameters like capacitance and tolerance differ and require review.

What risks should I check before replacing MPP204J2A0701?

Key risks include changes in capacitance, tolerance, and capacitor type. For example, a higher capacitance can affect timing circuits, while a different dielectric or a safety-rated capacitor (X2) may have different performance characteristics (ESR, pulse handling) than the original general-purpose part.
