Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236522104 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.1 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 100V DC 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)
• Physical dimensions: 10.00mm L × 4.00mm W (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained)

The BFC236622104 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and environmental ratings. The primary distinction is product status and packaging format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236622104 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete BFC236522104. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for applications requiring 0.1 µF capacitance at 100V DC with polyester metallized film dielectric technology. The packaging difference (Tape & Reel format for the substitute versus standard packaging for the main part) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility in through-hole PCB assembly applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236622104 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236522104 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all critical parameters including capacitance, voltage rating, dielectric type, lead spacing, and physical dimensions. The substitute part is suitable for direct PCB board replacement.

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

A: Both series are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this capacitance value. The series designation reflects internal manufacturing evolution. The MKT366 (substitute) represents the current active production series.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of BFC236622104 affect compatibility?

A: No. Tape & Reel packaging is a supply format used for automated assembly processes. Once removed from the reel, the component is mechanically and electrically identical to standard packaging. PCB mounting compatibility remains unchanged.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both BFC236522104 and BFC236622104 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: What is the lead spacing tolerance for these radial capacitors?

A: The lead spacing is 0.197" (5.00mm) for both parts. This dimension is critical for PCB footprint compatibility and must match the design specifications exactly.
