Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236516564 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.56 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 63V DC minimum / 40V AC minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Dielectric type: Polyester, Metallized (exact match required)
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole, Radial (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 5.00mm (exact match required)
• Termination style: PC Pins (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (equal or wider range acceptable)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained)

The BFC236616564 qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, with the distinction of active product status and updated series designation (MKT366).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236616564 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete BFC236516564. Selection is based on:
