Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BFC233822154 are qualified based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is strictly defined by the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Capacitance: 0.15 µF
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Voltage Rating - DC: 630V
• Voltage Rating - AC: 310V
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 110°C
• Ratings: X2

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial
• Size / Dimension: 0.689" L x 0.236" W (17.50mm x 6.00mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.472" (12.00mm)
• Lead Spacing: 0.591" (15.00mm)
• Termination: PC Pins

Compliance Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The two qualified substitutes, BFC233620154 and BFC233820154, meet all electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements. Series designation differences (MKP336 2 versus MKP338 2) do not affect substitution eligibility when all specified parameters are identical.

Parameter Comparison
