Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC236521563 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.056 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 100V DC minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Dielectric material: Polyester, Metallized (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (equal or wider range acceptable)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package configuration: Radial (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.394" L x 0.157" W (exact match required)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (equal or higher standard acceptable)

Substitute parts must satisfy all critical parameters without deviation to ensure direct replacement compatibility in existing circuit designs and PCB layouts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236621563 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete BFC236521563. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction is product status: the BFC236521563 is obsolete, while the BFC236621563 is active and currently in production. The BFC236621563 is available in higher inventory quantities (920 Pcs) compared to remaining stock of the original part (805 Pcs).

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance performance across the -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range. The series designation change from MKT365 to MKT366 reflects manufacturing evolution within the same product family, with no functional impact on circuit performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BFC236621563 be used as a direct replacement for the BFC236521563?

A: Yes. The BFC236621563 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the BFC236521563, including capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, dielectric material, operating temperature range, package configuration, and lead spacing. Direct substitution is compatible with existing PCB designs and circuit layouts.

Q: What is the difference between the MKT365 and MKT366 series?

A: Both series are polyester metallized film capacitors manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components. The series designation reflects manufacturing evolution. Electrical and mechanical performance characteristics are equivalent for this capacitance value and voltage rating.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both the BFC236521563 and BFC236621563 are ROHS3 compliant. No compliance or certification differences exist between the two parts.

Q: What is the lead spacing and how does it affect PCB compatibility?

A: Both parts feature 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing. This dimension determines PCB hole pattern compatibility. Identical lead spacing ensures direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Q: Can these capacitors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts are rated for operation across -55°C to 105°C. Applications requiring sustained operation at the upper temperature limit should account for capacitance drift characteristics typical of polyester film dielectrics at elevated temperatures.
