A 1nF disc capacitor with higher voltage (6kV) but weaker tolerance (±20%) and a less stable Y5U dielectric.
Finding a substitute for the STE T10B1D102KN0B0S0N0, a 1nF 4kV Y5P ceramic capacitor, requires careful review of dielectric material and tolerance. While several options exist, they often involve parametric trade-offs.
Weaker dielectric (Y5U) and tolerance (±20%) require validation.
Alternatives with matching disc package and lead spacing are available.
No direct drop-in replacement has been identified. Available alternatives have a less stable Y5U dielectric and wider ±20% tolerance, which requires engineering review before use.
Prioritize candidates with a 4kV or higher voltage rating and matching 1nF capacitance. The most critical check is the dielectric material's impact on your application.
The primary risk is the dielectric mismatch (Y5U vs. Y5P), which causes greater capacitance change over temperature and may affect circuit performance.
