Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236511684 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine compatibility:

Electrical Parameters (Critical):

• Capacitance value: 0.68 µF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Voltage rating: 63V DC minimum / 40V AC minimum
• Dielectric material: Polyester, Metallized

Mechanical Parameters (Critical):

• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Package type: Radial
• Physical dimensions: 10.00mm L x 5.50mm W
• Height seated: 15.00mm maximum
• Lead spacing: 5.00mm
• Termination: PC Pins

The substitute part BFC236611684 meets all electrical and mechanical requirements, with the primary difference being product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and series designation (MKT366 vs. MKT365).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236611684 is the direct substitute for the obsolete BFC236511684. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components and share identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions. The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

The transition from MKT365 to MKT366 series represents a product line evolution within the same manufacturer's portfolio, with no functional or performance differences relative to the specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236611684 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236511684?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (0.68 µF), tolerance (±10%), voltage ratings (63V DC / 40V AC), dielectric material (polyester metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and physical dimensions (10.00mm x 5.50mm, 15.00mm height, 5.00mm lead spacing). All mechanical and electrical parameters match.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main difference is product status. BFC236511684 is obsolete, while BFC236611684 is active. Additionally, they belong to different series designations (MKT365 vs. MKT366) within the same manufacturer's product line.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part (BFC236511684) is specified without packaging notation, while the substitute (BFC236611684) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both are through-hole radial capacitors with identical physical dimensions and lead spacing, compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both BFC236511684 and BFC236611684 are ROHS3 compliant and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.25.0010) classifications.

Q: What applications are these capacitors suitable for?

A: Both parts are rated for general-purpose applications requiring 0.68 µF capacitance at 63V DC operation with polyester metallized dielectric construction.
