Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236512334 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.33 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (matching tolerance band)
• Voltage ratings: 63V DC and 40V AC (minimum required ratings)
• Dielectric type: Polyester, Metallized (material consistency)
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole, Radial package
• Physical footprint: 10.00mm x 5.00mm with 5.00mm lead spacing
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The BFC236612334 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and environmental ratings. The primary distinction is product status: BFC236612334 is active production, whereas BFC236512334 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236612334 is the direct equivalent for BFC236512334 applications. Both components meet ROHS3 compliance requirements and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The transition from BFC236512334 to BFC236612334 is driven by product lifecycle management, as the former has reached obsolescence while the latter remains in active production status.

Selection of BFC236612334 ensures continued access to equivalent performance characteristics without design modification. The packaging difference (Tape & Reel versus bulk) reflects standard manufacturing practices for active-production components and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility in through-hole applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236612334 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236512334 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all critical parameters: 0.33 µF capacitance, ±5% tolerance, 63V DC rating, polyester metallized dielectric, and identical physical dimensions with 5.00mm lead spacing. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the series designation change from MKT365 to MKT366?

A: The series designation reflects manufacturer product line evolution. MKT365 is obsolete; MKT366 is the active equivalent series. The change does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the packaging format difference (bulk versus Tape & Reel) affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects procurement and assembly logistics only. The component itself—its electrical characteristics, physical dimensions, and performance—remains identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant. No compliance or certification differences exist that would affect their interchangeability.

Q: What inventory status should be considered when selecting between these parts?

A: BFC236512334 inventory is listed as 789 pieces (obsolete stock). BFC236612334 inventory is listed as 650 pieces (active production). For new designs or long-term procurement, BFC236612334 is the appropriate selection due to active production status and ongoing availability.
