Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236522124 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following areas:

Electrical Parameters: Capacitance value (0.12 µF), voltage ratings (100V DC / 63V AC), and tolerance (±5%) must be exact matches. The dielectric material (polyester, metallized) and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) define the performance envelope and must not be altered.

Mechanical Parameters: The radial through-hole package configuration, physical dimensions (10.50mm × 4.50mm), seated height (14.00mm maximum), and lead spacing (5.00mm) ensure mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and component placement equipment.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS3 compliance status must be maintained to satisfy regulatory requirements for the application.

The BFC236622124 meets all these criteria as a direct functional equivalent, with the primary distinction being its active product status and updated series designation (MKT366 versus MKT365).
