Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC233864332 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part BFC233860332 qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters: Identical capacitance value (3300 pF), tolerance (±20%), DC voltage rating (1000V), AC voltage rating (300V), and dielectric material (polypropylene metallized).

Mechanical Parameters: Identical mounting type (through hole), package configuration (radial), lead spacing (0.295" / 7.50mm), physical dimensions (0.394" L x 0.197" W / 10.00mm x 5.00mm), and seated height (0.413" / 10.50mm).

Environmental & Compliance: Matching operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), RoHS3 compliance, and automotive ratings (AEC-Q200, Y2).

Series Designation: Both parts belong to the MKP338 6 series, confirming design and performance equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BFC233864332 and BFC233860332 are active production parts with full automotive qualification (AEC-Q200) and Y2 ratings. Selection between these equivalents should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements. BFC233860332 currently has higher stock availability (1491 units versus 971 units), making it suitable for applications where supply continuity is a priority. Both parts maintain identical compliance status (ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected) and are suitable for direct substitution in automotive and EMI/RFI suppression circuit applications without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC233860332 be used as a direct replacement for BFC233864332?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically identical across all electrical specifications (3300 pF, ±20%, 1000V DC, 300V AC), mechanical dimensions (radial, 7.50mm lead spacing, 10.00mm x 5.00mm footprint), and environmental ratings (-55°C ~ 105°C operating range). They share the same series designation (MKP338 6) and compliance certifications (AEC-Q200, Y2, ROHS3).

Q: Are there any PCB layout considerations when substituting between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical lead spacing (0.295" / 7.50mm), physical dimensions, and radial package configuration. PCB footprints and mounting holes require no modification.

Q: Do both parts meet automotive qualification requirements?

A: Yes. Both BFC233864332 and BFC233860332 carry AEC-Q200 certification and Y2 ratings, qualifying them for automotive applications.

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

A: The parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The difference in part numbers reflects internal Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components manufacturing or inventory tracking designations. No functional or performance difference exists between them.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
