Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC230358564 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.56 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (matching tolerance band)
• Voltage rating: 400V DC minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Dielectric type: Polyester, metallized (same material system)
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole radial (same form factor)
• Lead spacing: 0.591" (15.00mm) (mechanical compatibility)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (same or wider range acceptable)
• Termination style: PC pins (same connection method)

The BFC237358564 meets all substitution criteria as an active-status equivalent from the same manufacturer family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC237358564 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete BFC230358564. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications for capacitance (0.56 µF), tolerance (±5%), and DC voltage rating (400V). The substitute operates across the same temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) and employs identical dielectric material and termination methods.

Physical dimensions differ between the two parts. The BFC237358564 exhibits increased width (10.00mm versus 6.90mm) and height (18.50mm versus 11.70mm). PCB layout verification is required to confirm mechanical fit within existing designs. Lead spacing remains constant at 15.00mm, preserving through-hole compatibility.

Both components carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). The substitute's active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain support compared to the obsolete main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC237358564 directly replace BFC230358564 in all applications?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. Physical dimensions differ; PCB layout must accommodate the larger case size of BFC237358564 (17.50mm x 10.00mm x 18.50mm height versus 17.50mm x 6.90mm x 11.70mm height). Lead spacing remains compatible at 15.00mm.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: Capacitance, tolerance, DC voltage rating, temperature range, dielectric material, and termination type are identical. The BFC237358564 features higher AC voltage rating (220V versus 100V) and larger physical dimensions. Series designation differs (MKT373 versus MKT303). Product status differs (active versus obsolete).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both BFC230358564 and BFC237358564 carry ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: What is the lead spacing for these radial capacitors?

A: Both components maintain 0.591" (15.00mm) lead spacing, ensuring mechanical compatibility with standard through-hole PCB layouts designed for this spacing.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution?

A: The main part uses standard packaging; the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This affects procurement and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance in the final assembly.
