Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236512824 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria determine valid substitutes:

• Capacitance value: 0.82 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 63V DC minimum / 40V AC minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Dielectric material: Polyester, Metallized (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (equal or wider range acceptable)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package configuration: Radial (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 10.00mm L x 5.50mm W, 15.00mm height maximum (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 5.00mm (exact match required)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained)

The BFC236612824 meets all substitution criteria as an active-status alternative from the same manufacturer family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236612824 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete BFC236512824. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications, physical dimensions, and compliance certifications. The primary distinction is product status: the BFC236612824 is active and available in standard packaging (Tape & Reel), whereas the BFC236512824 is obsolete. Selection of the BFC236612824 ensures design continuity with equivalent performance characteristics and regulatory compliance. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for general-purpose applications within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BFC236612824 be used as a direct replacement for the BFC236512824?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (0.82 µF, ±5%, 63V DC), 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). The radial through-hole configuration and PC pin termination are identical.

Q: What is the difference between the MKT365 and MKT366 series?

A: The MKT365 series (BFC236512824) is obsolete. The MKT366 series (BFC236612824) is the active successor from Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The BFC236512824 packaging is not specified in available data. The BFC236612824 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for active production components.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. Both the BFC236512824 and BFC236612824 are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Can these capacitors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Both components are rated for operation from -55°C to 105°C, making them suitable for applications within this temperature range.

Q: Is the lead spacing compatible with standard PCB layouts?

A: Yes. Both components feature 5.00mm lead spacing, which is compatible with standard through-hole PCB designs.
