Type X is Across the line, meaning between Neutral and Hot.

Type Y can only be used across Neutral, or Hot to Ground.

You cannot interchange these.

You also cannot interchange Y1/Y2, and X1/X2 they are rated differently.

Thanks Technight, So I assume I can't use the caps that I linked too.

The reason for my confusion is that in this other thread it was recommended to replace these caps with 10nF (0.01uF) Met Poly Class X2 X210N
