Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236522683 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The critical parameters determining substitutability are:

• Capacitance value: 0.068 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (matching tolerance specification)
• Voltage rating: 100V DC minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Dielectric type: Polyester, metallized (same material system)
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole radial (identical form factor)
• Physical dimensions: 10.00mm × 4.00mm with 5.00mm lead spacing (PCB layout compatibility)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (thermal performance envelope)

The BFC236622683 qualifies as a direct substitute, maintaining all electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

The substitute part is manufactured by the same supplier and maintains ROHS3 compliance. The transition from MKT365 to MKT366 series represents a product line update with no functional impact on circuit performance. The BFC236622683 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and legacy system support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236622683 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236522683 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, dielectric material, physical dimensions, and lead spacing are equivalent. No circuit modifications or PCB layout changes are required.

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

A: The MKT365 series (BFC236522683) is obsolete. The MKT366 series (BFC236622683) is the current production equivalent. Both series use identical polyester metallized dielectric technology and share the same electrical and mechanical specifications for this capacitance value.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part is supplied in standard packaging. The substitute part is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both maintain identical component dimensions and lead spacing for through-hole PCB assembly.

Q: Does the substitute part meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.25.0010) classifications.

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

A: Both parts feature 5.00mm lead spacing. This dimension is critical for through-hole PCB layout compatibility and remains constant between the main part and substitute.
