Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236516224 is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.22 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (matching tolerance band)
• Voltage rating: 63V DC minimum / 40V AC minimum
• Dielectric material: Polyester, Metallized (same material system)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (minimum coverage required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole radial configuration
• Physical dimensions: 10.00mm x 4.00mm body with 5.00mm lead spacing
• Termination: PC Pins (radial leads)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The BFC236616224 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical performance across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The transition from MKT365 (obsolete) to MKT366 (active) series represents a product line update by the manufacturer while maintaining full electrical and physical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236616224 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete BFC236516224. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications and physical form factors.
