Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The BFC233620105 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on the following criteria:

• Identical capacitance value: 1 µF
• Identical tolerance: ±20%
• Identical voltage ratings: 630V DC / 310V AC
• Identical dielectric material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 110°C
• Identical mounting type: Through Hole
• Identical package configuration: Radial
• Identical physical dimensions: 31.00mm L x 11.00mm W
• Identical lead spacing: 27.50mm
• Identical ratings classification: X2
• Identical RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part differs only in series designation (MKP336 2 versus MKP338 2), which represents an internal manufacturer classification that does not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BFC233821105 and BFC233620105 are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability: the BFC233620105 currently has 3100 pieces in stock compared to 1111 pieces for the BFC233821105. Both parts meet the same regulatory requirements (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8532.25.0020) and carry identical MSL ratings. Circuit performance and reliability will be equivalent when either part is used in applications requiring 1 µF capacitance at 630V DC with X2 ratings for EMI/RFI suppression.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC233620105 be used as a direct replacement for BFC233821105?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (1 µF, ±20%, 630V DC, 310V AC), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 110°C), and physical dimensions (31.00mm x 11.00mm with 27.50mm lead spacing). The radial through-hole package and PC pin termination are identical, making them functionally interchangeable in circuit designs.

Q: What is the difference between the MKP338 2 and MKP336 2 series designations?

A: Series designations represent internal manufacturer product line classifications and do not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or application suitability. Both series meet identical specifications for this 1 µF, 630V DC film capacitor.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical certifications: ROHS3 compliance, MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS code 8532.25.0020. Regulatory and environmental compliance is equivalent.

Q: Will PCB layout require modification when substituting these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical physical dimensions (31.00mm L x 11.00mm W), maximum seated height (21.00mm), and lead spacing (27.50mm). PCB footprints and mounting holes remain unchanged.

Q: Which part should be selected based on availability?

A: The BFC233620105 has higher current inventory (3100 pieces) compared to the BFC233821105 (1111 pieces). For applications requiring immediate procurement or larger quantities, the BFC233620105 may offer better supply chain advantages while maintaining identical performance characteristics.
