250V MLCC for White-Goods Electronics in Turkey: 19.8 Million Appliances Built in Nine Months, and a 100 nF, 1206 Brief Returns 5 Walsin Parts, 1 on Our Shelf

A 250V MLCC for white-goods electronics in Turkey is a common line with a short list. Walsin lists 1,821 capacitors rated 250 V. A 100 nF, X7R, 1206 brief returns 5, and 1 is on our shelf. Larger values need larger cases: the X7R ceiling runs from 10 nF in 0603 to 2.2 µF in 2220.

Venatech Limited, an authorised Walsin distributor in Hong Kong, wrote this for a design or sourcing engineer at an appliance or white-goods electronics maker in Manisa, Izmir or elsewhere in Turkey who is placing a 250 V ceramic capacitor on a control, display or motor-drive board. Walsin Technology (Walsin) is the manufacturer and the only line we are authorised for. We re-measured every count on 11 November 2026 from Walsin’s MLCC export, 00_ALL_MLCC_parts_combined.xlsx (24,026 rows, 23,601 distinct part numbers), leaving out the S2 and S3 safety series, and from our stock list as at 23 September 2026. Every part number is real.

What did TÜRKBESD report for appliance output in 2026, and why does a capacitor buyer care?

Lower output, but still very large. According to Enerji Bülteni on 30 October 2026, citing the appliance makers’ association TÜRKBESD, Turkey built 19,773,167 white-goods units in January to September 2026, down 11 percent, and exported 12,637,299, down 17 percent; September output was 2,614,418, up 1 percent.

The same report has TÜRKBESD’s chairman describing the sector as one that exports roughly 70 percent of what it makes, and noting a slight domestic recovery in the third quarter. Manisa Kulis Haber reported on 31 October 2026 that Vestel’s white-goods business runs its production in the Manisa Organized Industrial Zone. Those are the reports’ statements, not ours. Our inference is plain: nearly 20 million appliances in nine months means nearly 20 million control boards, many with mains-side ceramic capacitors. We say nothing about what Vestel or any maker buys, and we have no relationship with any of them.

Which Walsin parts cross a 100 nF, 250 V, X7R, 1206 brief?

Five, in three series. We filtered the export for 1206, X7R, 100 nF and 250 V and found 5 part numbers: 2 Middle to High Voltage, 2 SH soft termination and 1 MG automotive. One, 1206B104K251, is on our stock list as at 23 September 2026.

The last column is for your incumbent.

Walsin part	Series	Tolerance	Thickness in the export (mm)	On shelf 23 Sep 2026	Match / mismatch with a 100 nF, 250 V, X7R, ±10%, 1206 brief
`1206B104K251`	Middle to High Voltage	±10%	1.60 ±0.20	Yes	Match on every field
`1206B104M251`	Middle to High Voltage	±20%	1.60 ±0.20	No	Mismatch: tolerance ±20%
`SH31B104K251`	SH, soft termination	±10%	1.60 ±0.20	No	Match electrically; soft termination added
`SH31B104J251`	SH, soft termination	±5%	blank	No	Mismatch: tolerance ±5%; thickness not stated
`MG31B104K251`	MG, automotive without AEC-Q200	column reads -0.1	1.60 ±0.20	No	Match electrically; tolerance column not a tolerance
`1812B104K251`	Middle to High Voltage, 1812	±10%	1.25 ±0.10	No	Mismatch in case size; thinner than the 1206

A match is a match on the export fields. Confirm against both datasheets and qualify in your own circuit. Class II capacitance falls as DC voltage rises; our post on MLCC DC bias and voltage derating covers how to allow for it on a board that sees near its rating.

How high does a Walsin X7R 250V MLCC go in each case size?

From 10 nF to 2.2 µF. We took the 498 X7R parts rated 250 V and read the highest value per case: 10 nF in 0603 (43 parts), 68 nF in 0805 (120), 220 nF in 1206 (117), 680 nF in 1210 (93), 1 µF in 1812 (78), 1 µF in 1825 (10), 2.2 µF in 2220 (30) and 2.2 µF in 2225 (7).

Of all 1,821 parts at 250 V, most are not X7R: 1,268 are NP0, 676 of those in the Microwave and High Q series, and 53 are X8G, all in the Microwave series. The 1825 case adds no value over 1812, and 2225 adds none over 2220. We have not seen these eight ceilings set side by side anywhere. Our post on middle and high voltage MLCC, 200 V to 4 kV covers the series the shelf parts come from, and the MLCC range lists the families.

On the shelf, 50 of the 1,821 are listed as at 23 September 2026, 21 of them X7R: 3 in 0603, 8 in 0805, 4 in 1206, 2 in 1210 and 4 in 1812. The highest X7R value on the shelf at 250 V is 680 nF, 1812B684K251.

Why is the 1812 part thinner than the 1206 part at 100 nF and 250 V?

Because the larger case needs fewer layers for the same value. In the export, 1812B104K251 is 1.25 ±0.10 mm thick, while 1206B104K251 is 1.60 ±0.20 mm: the larger 1812 part is 0.35 mm thinner at the same 100 nF and 250 V.

That matters on a slim appliance display or a board under a tight cover. If height is the limit and area is not, the 1812 may fit where the 1206 does not. The reason in the heading is the usual engineering explanation, not a Walsin statement; the thickness figures are read from the export. Confirm both against Walsin’s own Middle to High Voltage datasheet before you change a footprint.

What will we not tell you about appliance electronics?

Whether a part may sit across the mains. None of the 1,821 parts counted here belongs to Walsin’s S2 or S3 safety series, so none of them is a safety-rated X or Y capacitor, and a 250 V rating is not a mains safety rating.

Mains-crossing positions need a certified safety capacitor; our post on X1/Y1 versus X1/Y2 safety capacitors explains the classes. We hold no ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 certificate. We hold no office, entity or stock in Turkey; our locations are Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Singapore and Jiangmen, with Chengdu in preparation. We give no legal, customs or conformity advice; confirm with your compliance team.

How can Venatech help a Turkish appliance electronics maker?

How Venatech helps starts with a free paste box. The cross-reference tool, VenaMatch, decodes 18 manufacturers’ part numbers and covers 800,000+ crossable parts. Paste up to 500 part numbers, or an Excel or CSV file, and each Walsin candidate comes back with every field marked match or mismatch. Load a whole BOM for a review; the ready stock list is a Hong Kong snapshot dated 23 September 2026.

Our worked example: the 100 nF, 250 V, 1206 brief returned 5 parts and 1 shelf match, with an 1812 option that is thinner. Walsin is the only line we are authorised for; Stackpole and Viking are lines we supply. We serve from Hong Kong in small lots, and you request a quote through the site.

The short version

Walsin lists 1,821 MLCC at 250 V outside the safety series; 498 are X7R.
A 100 nF, 250 V, X7R, 1206 brief returns 5 parts; 1206B104K251 matches and is on our shelf.
X7R at 250 V tops out at 220 nF in 1206 and 2.2 µF in 2220.
At 100 nF the 1812 part is 0.35 mm thinner than the 1206.

Paste your 250 V capacitor lines into the free cross-reference tool and see every field marked match or mismatch. Qualification stays with you.

Frequently asked questions

What did TÜRKBESD report for white-goods output in 2026?

Citing TÜRKBESD, Enerji Bülteni reported on 30 October 2026 output of 19,773,167 units in January to September 2026, down 11 percent, and exports of 12,637,299, down 17 percent. These are the association’s figures, not ours.

How many Walsin 250V MLCC are there?

1,821 outside the S2 and S3 safety series, in our count on 11 November 2026: 1,268 NP0, 498 X7R, 53 X8G and 2 X7T. 50 are on our stock list as at 23 September 2026.

Which Walsin part crosses a 100 nF, 250 V, X7R, 1206 brief?

1206B104K251 matches every field and is on our shelf; SH31B104K251 matches with soft termination. Confirm against both datasheets and qualify in your own circuit.

What is the highest X7R value at 250 V in 1206?

220 nF, across 117 X7R part numbers in 1206. For more, 1210 reaches 680 nF and 1812 reaches 1 microfarad. Check Walsin’s datasheet before you choose a case.

Can a 250V MLCC be used across the mains?

Not as a safety capacitor. None of these parts is in Walsin’s safety series. Mains-crossing positions need a certified X or Y capacitor; confirm with your compliance team.

Do you hold stock or an office in Turkey?

No. We hold no office, entity or stock in Turkey; our locations are Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Singapore and Jiangmen. We hold no ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 certificate and give no legal or customs advice.
