BF014G0102J-- Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BF014G0102J-- is a 1000 pF film capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, rated for 250V DC operation with ±5% tolerance. This component features a polyester metallized dielectric in a radial through-hole package and is classified as obsolete. Due to its discontinued status, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is essential for ongoing design support, maintenance, and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BF014G0102J-- is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 1000 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (standard tolerance for general-purpose film capacitors)
• Voltage Rating - DC: Minimum 250V (equal or higher ratings are acceptable)
• Dielectric Material: Polyester-based metallized film (compatible with original specification)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole radial configuration
• Lead Spacing: 0.200" (5.08mm) nominal (minor variations within 0.197" - 0.200" are acceptable for mechanical compatibility)
• Operating Temperature: Minimum -55°C ~ 100°C (equal or wider range acceptable)

The B32529C6102J000 from EPCOS - TDK Electronics meets all substitution criteria with enhanced electrical performance characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The B32529C6102J000 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete BF014G0102J--. Selection is based on the following factors:

• Product Status: The BF014G0102J-- is obsolete; the B32529C6102J000 is active and in production, ensuring long-term availability.
• Electrical Compatibility: The substitute provides equal capacitance and tolerance with superior voltage ratings (400V DC vs. 250V DC), offering enhanced design margin.
• Compliance: The B32529C6102J000 is ROHS3 compliant and AEC-Q200 rated, meeting automotive and industrial standards. The original part is RoHS non-compliant.
• Thermal Performance: The substitute supports an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -55°C ~ 100°C), providing improved thermal headroom.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Lead spacing and package dimensions are within acceptable tolerances for direct board-level substitution.
• Inventory: The B32529C6102J000 has substantial stock availability (8407 units), ensuring supply continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B32529C6102J000 be used as a direct replacement for the BF014G0102J-- on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. The substitute meets all critical electrical parameters and maintains mechanical compatibility. Lead spacing variation (0.197" vs. 0.200") is within standard manufacturing tolerances for radial through-hole components and does not affect board-level assembly.

Q: What is the significance of the higher voltage rating on the substitute part?

A: The B32529C6102J000 is rated for 400V DC compared to the original 250V DC. This higher rating provides additional design margin and does not negatively impact performance in circuits designed for 250V operation. The capacitance and tolerance remain identical.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: Yes. The B32529C6102J000 is ROHS3 compliant and AEC-Q200 rated, whereas the BF014G0102J-- is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring regulatory compliance, the substitute is the appropriate choice.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of the substitute affect circuit performance?

A: No. The substitute supports -55°C ~ 125°C operation versus the original -55°C ~ 100°C. This wider range provides additional operational flexibility without affecting performance in the original temperature specification window.

Q: What is the lead spacing tolerance for radial film capacitors?

A: Standard lead spacing tolerance for radial through-hole capacitors is ±0.05" (1.27mm). The variation between the BF014G0102J-- (0.200") and B32529C6102J000 (0.197") falls within this tolerance and is acceptable for PCB mounting.
