Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC233822103 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 10000 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating - DC: 630V (minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable)
• Voltage rating - AC: 310V (minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable)
• Dielectric material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 110°C (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.295" (7.50mm) (exact match required)

The substitute part BFC233820103 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct parametric equivalent.

Parameter Comparison
