Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236522563 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.056 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (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)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained)

The BFC236622563 qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is the series designation (MKT366 versus MKT365) and active product status, indicating this is the current production equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236622563 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236522563 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The BFC236622563 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. All critical parameters—capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, dielectric material, operating temperature range, physical dimensions, and lead spacing—are identical. PCB layout and circuit design require no modification.

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

A: The series designation reflects internal Vishay product line organization. Both series share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this capacitance value and voltage rating. The MKT366 represents the current production series.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part (BFC236522563) is supplied in standard packaging, while the substitute (BFC236622563) is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both maintain identical component specifications and through-hole radial configuration. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly processes.

Q: Is RoHS compliance maintained with the substitute part?

A: Yes. Both BFC236522563 and BFC236622563 are ROHS3 compliant, ensuring regulatory compliance for applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the lead spacing tolerance for PCB design?

A: The lead spacing is 0.197" (5.00mm) for both parts. This dimension is fixed and requires no adjustment in PCB footprint design.
