Package: Radial, 10mm Lead PitchKNSCHAAluminum Electrolytic CapacitorsCapacitance: 330 nFRated Voltage (AC): 275V / 305V / 310VCapacitor Class: X2Lead Pitch: 10 mmSafety Certifications: UL, CUL, VDE, ENEC, KC, CQC

Finding a substitute for the KNSCHA MPX334K31C5KN15600 X2 safety capacitor requires matching capacitance (330nF), voltage (275VAC+), and package (10mm pitch). Several alternatives exist but require careful review.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskhigh

Using a part with incorrect capacitance or no X2 safety rating can cause circuit failure or safety hazards.

Package risklow

Most candidates share the same 10mm radial package, but verification is always recommended.

Can it be replaced directly?

No verified direct drop-in replacement is available without engineering review. MPX334K31CBKN15690 is a strong functional match but requires package verification.

Best replacement path

The strongest candidate is MPX334K31CBKN15690 from the same manufacturer, offering identical key specs. Verify package dimensions before use.

Main risk

The main risk is using a non-safety capacitor or one with incorrect capacitance, which can compromise EMI filtering and safety certifications.
