Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236516274 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The primary substitute, BFC236616274, maintains identical electrical specifications: 0.27 µF capacitance at ±5% tolerance, 63V DC voltage rating, and 40V AC rating. Both components utilize polyester metallized dielectric construction and share identical physical dimensions (10.00mm × 4.50mm), height (14.00mm maximum), and lead spacing (5.00mm). The key differentiator is product status: BFC236516274 is obsolete (MKT365 series), while BFC236616274 is active (MKT366 series). The substitute part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility, enabling direct replacement in circuit designs without performance degradation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236616274 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete BFC236516274. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and manufactured by the same supplier. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Selection of BFC236616274 eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility. No design modifications are required for component substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236616274 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236516274? A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (0.27 µF, ±5%, 63V DC), dielectric material (polyester metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and physical dimensions (10.00mm × 4.50mm with 5.00mm lead spacing). Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers? A: The main difference is product status. BFC236516274 (MKT365 series) is obsolete, while BFC236616274 (MKT366 series) is active. Both are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components.

Q: Are there any packaging differences? A: BFC236616274 is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) packaging. Both components are radial through-hole capacitors with identical physical form factors.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards? A: Yes. Both BFC236516274 and BFC236616274 are ROHS3 compliant and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.25.0010) classifications.

Q: Can these capacitors be used interchangeably in PCB designs? A: Yes. Identical lead spacing (5.00mm), termination type (PC Pins), and mounting configuration (radial through-hole) ensure direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.
