A strong match with identical key electricals and package, but different lead style requires review.
Finding a substitute for the STE R08F1E472MN0B0S0N0, a 4.7nF 2kV Y5V disc capacitor, involves matching capacitance, voltage, and through-hole package. Key considerations include dielectric characteristics and lead style.
Low for same-dielectric parts, medium for different dielectrics.
Lead style differences require mechanical verification.
Direct replacement for R08F1E472MN0B0S0N0 should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The closest match is R08F1B472MN0B0S0N0, differing only in lead style. For an upgrade, consider parts with a more stable dielectric like Y5U, if the application allows.
The main risks are mechanical incompatibility from different lead styles and electrical performance changes if a different dielectric is used.
