Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236522154 is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish valid substitution:

Electrical equivalence requires identical capacitance (0.15 µF), tolerance (±5%), and voltage ratings (100V DC / 63V AC). The dielectric material (polyester, metallized) and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) must remain unchanged.

Mechanical compatibility requires matching package type (radial), mounting method (through hole), physical dimensions (0.413" L × 0.197" W), seated height (0.571" max), lead spacing (0.197"), and termination style (PC pins).

Compliance requirements include ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236622154 serves as a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the obsolete BFC236522154. Both components share identical capacitance, voltage ratings, tolerance, dielectric composition, temperature operating range, and physical form factor.

The primary distinction is product status: BFC236522154 is obsolete while BFC236622154 maintains active production status. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical EAR99 ECCN classification, ensuring regulatory consistency.

The BFC236622154 is available in Tape & Reel packaging, supporting automated assembly processes. Selection of the substitute part eliminates supply chain risk associated with obsolete component sourcing while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility with existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236622154 replace BFC236522154 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The BFC236622154 provides complete electrical and mechanical equivalence. All critical parameters—capacitance, voltage ratings, tolerance, dielectric material, temperature range, and physical dimensions—are identical. Direct substitution is possible without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging format. BFC236522154 is obsolete; BFC236622154 is active production. BFC236522154 uses standard packaging; BFC236622154 is supplied in Tape & Reel format. The MKT365 and MKT366 series designations reflect generational updates within the same product family.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance status and EAR99 ECCN classification. Regulatory requirements are fully satisfied by either component.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel packaging is a supply and assembly format only. It does not alter electrical characteristics, performance, or reliability of the capacitor itself.

Q: What inventory status should I consider?

A: BFC236622154 maintains active production with current stock availability (637 pcs). BFC236522154 is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (670 pcs). For new designs or long-term supply requirements, BFC236622154 is the appropriate selection.
