Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236511474 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria determine valid substitutes:

• Capacitance value: 0.47 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 63V DC minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Dielectric type: Polyester, Metallized (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (equal or wider range acceptable)
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 10.00mm x 5.50mm footprint with 5.00mm lead spacing (exact match required)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match required)

The BFC236611474 meets all substitution criteria as an active product from the same manufacturer family (MKT366 series), providing direct functional and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236611474 is the primary substitute for the obsolete BFC236511474. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components and maintain identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions. The key distinction is product status: BFC236611474 is active and currently in production, whereas BFC236511474 is obsolete.

Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification, confirming adherence to hazardous substance restrictions. The substitute maintains full compatibility with existing PCB layouts and circuit designs without requiring modifications to footprints, lead spacing, or electrical performance parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236611474 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236511474?
