Package: 0805 (2012 Metric)MLCC INDUSTRIES CorporationCeramic CapacitorsCapacitance: 100 nFVoltage Rating: 250 VDielectric: X7RTolerance: ±10%Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric)

Finding a substitute for the HUI JU NM0805B104K251CEDN 250V capacitor requires balancing package size against voltage rating. Alternatives exist but may require PCB changes or careful electrical stress analysis due to lower voltage ratings.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

Using a 1206 part requires a new PCB layout.

Electrical riskhigh

Using a 200V part instead of 250V is a downgrade that requires circuit validation.

Can it be replaced directly?

No, a direct pin-for-pin replacement with an equal or higher voltage rating was not identified in this review. All same-package candidates have a lower voltage rating of 200V.

Best replacement path

Use a functional alternate in a 1206 package like NM1206B104K501CEGN for a higher voltage rating, if PCB space allows. Otherwise, carefully evaluate a 200V part in the same 0805 package.

Main risk

The primary risk is choosing between a mechanical package mismatch (requiring a board redesign) and an electrical voltage downgrade (risking component failure).

Application & sourcing insights

Questions & answers

The best alternative depends on your design constraints. If you can change your PCB layout, NM1206B104K501CEGN offers a higher voltage rating in a 1206 package. If you cannot change the layout, CGA0805X7R104K201MT is a form-fit match but has a lower 200V rating that must be verified for your application.
