Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236516154 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: capacitance value (0.15 µF), tolerance specification (±5%), DC voltage rating (63V), AC voltage rating (40V), dielectric material composition (polyester metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), mounting configuration (through hole radial), physical dimensions (10.00mm x 4.00mm length and width, 13.50mm maximum seated height), lead spacing (5.00mm), and termination type (PC pins). The substitute part must maintain identical electrical performance characteristics and mechanical compatibility with the original design footprint. Compliance certifications including RoHS3 status must be preserved to ensure regulatory alignment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236616154 serves as the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete BFC236516154. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components and maintain identical electrical specifications, physical dimensions, and mechanical compatibility. The primary distinction is product status: BFC236516154 is obsolete with 773 units in stock, while BFC236616154 is active with 691 units available. The substitute part is ROHS3 compliant and maintains full regulatory alignment. Selection of BFC236616154 ensures continued supply chain access and compliance with current manufacturing standards while preserving all functional and mechanical requirements of the original design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236616154 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236516154? A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (0.15 µF), tolerance (±5%), voltage ratings (63V DC / 40V AC), dielectric material (polyester metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and physical dimensions (10.00mm x 4.00mm with 5.00mm lead spacing). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is complete.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution? A: BFC236516154 is classified as obsolete. BFC236616154 is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer, ensuring long-term supply availability and compliance with current production standards.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts? A: BFC236616154 is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) packaging. Both parts maintain identical radial through-hole configuration and PC pin termination suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements? A: Yes. Both BFC236516154 and BFC236616154 are ROHS3 compliant. Regulatory and environmental compliance is maintained across the substitution.

Q: What is the difference between MKT365 and MKT366 series designations? A: MKT365 and MKT366 are series designations within the Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components product line. Both series employ identical polyester metallized dielectric construction and maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications for this 0.15 µF 63V radial capacitor category.
