Is there a pin-compatible replacement for PN472J2J0701?

No, a fully pin-compatible replacement with matching electricals was not found. One candidate, CY2472MD1IEF48F2A9, matches the 7.5mm lead spacing but is a major electrical downgrade and is not recommended for most applications.

What risks should I check before replacing PN472J2J0701?

Before replacing PN472J2J0701, you must verify: 1) Package: Can your PCB accommodate a different lead spacing (e.g., 10mm or 15mm)? 2) Voltage: Is the replacement's voltage rating at least 630V? 3) Dielectric: Is the material Polypropylene for similar performance?

PN472J2J0701 Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | KYET

Finding a replacement for the KYET PN472J2J0701, a 4.7nF 630V film capacitor, requires careful attention to its 7.5mm lead spacing. While electrically similar parts exist, mechanical fit is the primary challenge.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

Most electrically suitable alternatives have different lead spacing (10mm or 15mm vs. 7.5mm).

Electrical riskmedium

Care must be taken to select a part with an equal or higher voltage rating and a compatible dielectric material (Polypropylene).

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, pin-compatible replacement for PN472J2J0701 was identified. Alternatives require either board modification for different lead spacing or accepting significant electrical downgrades.

Best replacement path

Find a metallized polypropylene capacitor with 4.7nF capacitance, ≥630V rating, and 7.5mm lead spacing. No direct drop-in was found in this review.

Main risk

The primary risk in replacing PN472J2J0701 is mechanical incompatibility due to different lead spacing. Electrical risks include using parts with lower voltage ratings or less stable dielectrics.

Recommended alternatives

Electrically strong alternative with upgraded voltage, but has a wider 10mm lead pitch.
