BFC236515334 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BFC236515334 is a 0.33 µF film capacitor rated for 63V DC operation, manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components as part of the MKT365 series. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts for ongoing design and procurement requirements. The capacitor features polyester metallized dielectric construction with radial through-hole mounting, suitable for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236515334 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.33 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 63V DC minimum / 40V AC minimum
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Dielectric type: Polyester, Metallized
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole radial
• Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Physical dimensions: 0.394" L x 0.197" W, height 0.571" maximum
• Termination style: PC Pins

The BFC236615334 meets all substitution criteria as an active-status equivalent from the same manufacturer family, differing only in series designation (MKT366 versus MKT365) and product lifecycle status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236615334 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete BFC236515334. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications, physical dimensions, and compliance certifications. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the BFC236615334 is actively manufactured and available, whereas the BFC236515334 is obsolete.

Selection of the BFC236615334 is appropriate for new designs and production runs requiring 0.33 µF film capacitors with 63V DC rating and polyester metallized dielectric construction. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements. The active status of the BFC236615334 ensures continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BFC236615334 be used as a direct replacement for the BFC236515334?
