Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC233827683 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.068 µF (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: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match required)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match required)
• Series: MKP338 2 (same series preferred)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

Only parts meeting all these criteria are considered parametric equivalents and direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC233820683 is a direct parametric equivalent to the BFC233827683. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components within the MKP338 2 series and share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 export classification.

Selection between these two part numbers should be based on availability and supply chain requirements. The BFC233820683 currently has higher inventory availability (4122 units versus 721 units), making it a viable alternative when supply of the primary part number is constrained.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC233820683 be used as a direct replacement for BFC233827683?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical capacitance (0.068 µF), tolerance (±20%), voltage ratings (630V DC / 310V AC), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C to 110°C), physical dimensions, lead spacing, and compliance certifications. They are interchangeable in circuit applications.

Q: Are there any differences in mechanical compatibility?

A: No. Both components have identical radial package specifications, lead spacing of 0.394" (10.00mm), and through-hole mounting requirements. PCB layout and footprints are identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both BFC233827683 and BFC233820683 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) and carry the same ECCN classification (EAR99).

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The part numbers differ only in their internal manufacturing or packaging batch designation. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. The primary distinction is inventory availability.

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same production batch?

A: Yes. Since both parts are parametric equivalents from the same manufacturer and series with identical specifications, they can be used interchangeably within the same assembly or production run without circuit redesign or re-qualification.
