Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC233868111 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: 1000V (1kV) (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 300V (exact match required)
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 105°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)
• Automotive Compliance: AEC-Q200, Y2 (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The substitute part BFC233868105 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct parametric equivalent suitable for interchangeable use in the same circuit application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BFC233868111 and BFC233868105 are active production components from the same manufacturer series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and procurement lead times. The BFC233868105 offers significantly higher stock availability (6283 units versus 694 units), which may provide advantages for high-volume production runs or time-sensitive applications. Both components maintain full compliance with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 environmental standards, ensuring suitability for automotive EMI/RFI suppression applications across the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC233868105 be used as a direct replacement for BFC233868111?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical capacitance (10000 pF), tolerance (±20%), voltage ratings (1000V DC / 300V AC), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), physical dimensions, lead spacing (10.00mm), and automotive certifications (AEC-Q200, Y2). They are interchangeable in circuit design and PCB layout.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical dimensions: 0.492" L x 0.236" W (12.50mm x 6.00mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.472" (12.00mm) and lead spacing of 0.394" (10.00mm). PCB footprints and mechanical clearances are identical.

Q: Do both parts meet automotive compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both BFC233868111 and BFC233868105 carry AEC-Q200 qualification and Y2 ratings, confirming suitability for automotive applications. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the difference between these part numbers?

A: The part numbers differ only in their internal designation within the Vishay product line. All electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications are identical. The difference is administrative rather than technical.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is suitable for new designs. Selection may be based on supplier availability, inventory levels, or procurement preferences. The BFC233868105 currently has higher stock availability.
