Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236516474 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.47 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 63V DC minimum / 40V AC minimum
• Dielectric material: Polyester, metallized (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (exact match required)
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole radial (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions and lead spacing: 10.00mm × 5.50mm with 5.00mm lead spacing (exact match required)
• Termination: PC pins (exact match required)

The BFC236616474 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. The primary distinction is product status: BFC236616474 is active production, whereas BFC236516474 is obsolete.
