BFC233826154 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BFC233826154 is a 0.15 µF film capacitor manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components, part of the MKP338 2 series. This polypropylene metallized radial capacitor is rated for 630V DC operation and is designed for EMI and RFI suppression applications. The component is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format or lead spacing requirements differ while maintaining identical electrical performance specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC233826154 is determined by electrical parameter equivalence across the MKP338 2 series. The following parameters must remain constant for valid substitution:

• 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
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial
• Termination: PC Pins
• Applications: EMI, RFI Suppression
• Ratings: X2
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Variations in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) and lead spacing do not affect electrical performance and permit substitution when inventory or procurement requirements necessitate alternative packaging configurations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BFC233826154 and BFC233820154 are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and lead spacing requirements specific to the application circuit board layout.

The BFC233826154 features 7.50mm lead spacing and Tape & Reel packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes. The BFC233820154 features 15.00mm lead spacing and Bulk packaging, suitable for manual assembly or applications requiring wider lead spacing on through-hole PCB layouts.

Height differences (14.00mm versus 12.00mm seated height) must be evaluated against available vertical clearance in the application enclosure. Both components maintain identical electrical performance across the specified operating temperature range and voltage ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC233826154 and BFC233820154 be used interchangeably in the same circuit?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. However, lead spacing and seated height differences require PCB layout verification. The 7.50mm lead spacing of BFC233826154 differs from the 15.00mm lead spacing of BFC233820154, necessitating different through-hole pad patterns on the circuit board.

Q: What is the significance of the different packaging formats?

A: BFC233826154 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, optimized for high-volume automated assembly. BFC233820154 is supplied in Bulk format, suitable for lower-volume production or manual assembly operations. Electrical performance is identical.

Q: Does the height difference affect circuit performance?

A: No. The seated height difference (14.00mm versus 12.00mm) does not affect electrical performance. Height selection is determined by available vertical clearance within the application enclosure and PCB layout constraints.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both BFC233826154 and BFC233820154 are ROHS3 compliant and carry X2 ratings for EMI and RFI suppression applications. Both maintain unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Q: What applications are these capacitors designed for?

A: Both parts are specified for EMI and RFI suppression in electronic circuits. The 630V DC rating and polypropylene dielectric material provide stable performance across the -55°C to 110°C operating temperature range.
