Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236515274 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.27 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (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)
• Lead spacing: 5.00mm (exact match required)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match required)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained)

The BFC236615274 meets all substitution criteria as an active-status equivalent from the same manufacturer family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236615274 is the direct substitute for the obsolete BFC236515274. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components and maintain identical electrical specifications, physical dimensions, and compliance certifications. The primary distinction is product status: BFC236615274 is active and currently available in inventory (839 pcs), whereas BFC236515274 is obsolete. The series designation change from MKT365 to MKT366 reflects manufacturing evolution within the same product family while preserving all functional and mechanical characteristics. Selection of BFC236615274 ensures continued supply chain access and compliance with ROHS3 requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236615274 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236515274 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (0.27 µF, 63V DC, ±10% tolerance), physical dimensions (10.00mm x 4.50mm), lead spacing (5.00mm), and termination type (PC Pins). PCB layout compatibility is maintained without modification.

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

A: Both series are polyester film capacitors from Vishay with identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this capacitance value. The series designation reflects manufacturing process updates. Electrical performance and physical form factor remain equivalent.

Q: Is BFC236615274 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. BFC236615274 is ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original BFC236515274.

Q: Why is BFC236515274 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation. BFC236615274 serves as the active replacement within the same manufacturer's portfolio, providing equivalent functionality with ongoing availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: BFC236515274 packaging information is not specified in available data. BFC236615274 is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) packaging. Both maintain identical component dimensions and lead configuration for through-hole PCB assembly.
