Form-fit alternative in an 0805 package but with a lower 200V rating.
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.
Using a 1206 part requires a new PCB layout.
Using a 200V part instead of 250V is a downgrade that requires circuit validation.
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.
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.
The primary risk is choosing between a mechanical package mismatch (requiring a board redesign) and an electrical voltage downgrade (risking component failure).

| Feature / factor | NM0805B104K251CEDN | CGA0805X7R104K201MT | NM1206B104K501CEGN | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 0805 (2012 Metric) | 0805 | 1206 | 0805 / 1206 — Package is a form-fit match.; NM1206B104K501CEGN: Larger package requires PCB layout change. | |
| Voltage | 250V | 200V | 500V | 200V / 500V — Lower voltage rating is a downgrade and requires circuit analysis.; NM1206B104K501CEGN: Higher voltage rating provides increased safety margin. | |

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.
