Form-fit compatible with higher voltage, but requires review for weaker tolerance and different dielectric.
Finding a substitute for the STE N07B1B102KQ0T0S0N0 1nF 1kV capacitor requires checking physical lead spacing and electricals. Alternatives exist with the same form-fit but relaxed parameters that need review.
Dielectric and tolerance changes require validation.
Form-fit matching alternatives have been found.
No direct pin-for-pin replacement has been identified. All candidates require engineering review of electrical parameter differences.
Parametric alternatives with matching 5.0mm lead spacing but different dielectric (Y5U) and tolerance (±20%) are available.
The primary risk is the change in dielectric from Y5P to Y5U, which has a less stable capacitance over temperature and DC bias.

Form-fit compatible with higher voltage, but requires review for weaker tolerance and different dielectric.
