Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The BFC2373EE275MI qualifies as a direct substitute for the BFC230341275 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical capacitance value: 2.7 µF
• Matching tolerance specification: ±10%
• Equivalent voltage ratings: 250V DC / 63V AC
• Same dielectric material: Polyester, Metallized
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
• Matching mounting configuration: Through-hole radial
• Consistent lead spacing: 0.886" (22.50mm)
• Identical termination type: PC Pins

The primary distinction is product status: BFC2373EE275MI is active production, whereas BFC230341275 is obsolete. Both components share the same electrical performance envelope and mechanical interface requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC2373EE275MI is the appropriate selection for applications currently specified with BFC230341275. Both components maintain identical electrical characteristics and mechanical interfaces. The substitute part offers the advantage of active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry equivalent moisture sensitivity ratings. Physical dimensions show minor variation in height (0.634" maximum for BFC230341275 versus 0.709" maximum for BFC2373EE275MI), which remains within typical PCB layout tolerances for radial through-hole components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC2373EE275MI be used as a direct replacement for BFC230341275 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (2.7 µF, ±10%, 250V DC, 63V AC) and mechanical interfaces (radial through-hole, 22.50mm lead spacing, PC pin termination). The substitute part is electrically and mechanically interchangeable.
