BFC236512105 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BFC236512105 is a 1 µF film capacitor rated for 63V DC, manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components as part of the MKT365 series. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The substitute part maintains identical electrical specifications while offering improved availability through active product status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236512105 is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 1 µF
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Voltage rating: 63V DC / 40V AC
• Dielectric type: Polyester, Metallized
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole Radial
• Lead spacing: 5.00mm
• Termination style: PC Pins
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The BFC236612105 qualifies as a direct substitute, as it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. standard packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236612105 is the designated manufacturer substitute for the obsolete BFC236512105. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components and maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring procurement availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements. The seated height difference of 0.5mm (15.00mm vs. 15.50mm) falls within typical PCB layout tolerances for through-hole radial capacitors and does not affect functional performance or circuit board assembly compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236612105 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236512105?

A: Yes. The BFC236612105 maintains identical capacitance (1 µF), tolerance (±5%), voltage ratings (63V DC / 40V AC), dielectric material (Polyester, Metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and mechanical configuration (Through Hole Radial, 5.00mm lead spacing). Both components are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status (BFC236512105 is obsolete; BFC236612105 is active) and series designation (MKT365 vs. MKT366). The seated height differs by 0.5mm, which is within standard PCB assembly tolerances. Packaging format differs (standard vs. Tape & Reel).

Q: Are there any PCB layout considerations when substituting these parts?

A: The lead spacing remains constant at 5.00mm, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility. The maximum seated height increases from 15.00mm to 15.50mm. Verify clearance in your specific application if height-constrained mounting space exists.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both BFC236512105 and BFC236612105 are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.25.0010) classifications.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: BFC236612105 should be specified for new designs due to its active product status and assured long-term availability.
