Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BFC233868401 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence. The following criteria determine substitutability:

• Capacitance value: 1000 pF
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Voltage ratings: 1000V DC / 300V AC
• Dielectric type: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole Radial
• Physical dimensions: 0.492" L x 0.157" W with 0.394" lead spacing
• Termination type: PC Pins
• Series designation: MKP338 6
• Compliance certifications: AEC-Q200, Y2, ROHS3

The BFC233868392 meets all these parameters and is classified as a parametric equivalent within the same product series.
