Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC233868116 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part BFC233868105 qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters: Identical capacitance value (10000 pF), tolerance (±20%), DC voltage rating (1000V), AC voltage rating (300V), and dielectric material (polypropylene metallized).

Mechanical Parameters: Identical mounting type (through hole radial), package dimensions (0.492" L x 0.236" W / 12.50mm x 6.00mm), height (0.472" / 12.00mm maximum seated), and lead spacing (0.394" / 10.00mm).

Environmental & Compliance: Identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), series designation (MKP338 6), automotive ratings (AEC-Q200, Y2), and RoHS3 compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BFC233868116 and BFC233868105 are active production parts manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components within the MKP338 6 series. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements, as they are parametrically identical across all electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and automotive-grade certifications (AEC-Q200, Y2), ensuring suitability for equivalent circuit applications. The BFC233868105 currently maintains higher inventory levels (6283 units) compared to BFC233868116 (1075 units), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.
