What risks should I check before replacing PE103J2A0501?

First, confirm the lead pitch (5mm) and body size fit your PCB layout. Second, ensure the voltage (100V or higher) and capacitance (10nF) are correct. Finally, check if the dielectric material (Metallized Polyester) is suitable for your application's frequency and temperature.
