Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236525224 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine functional equivalence:

• Capacitance value: 0.22 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (matching tolerance band)
• Voltage rating: 100V DC minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Dielectric type: Polyester, metallized (same material system)
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole radial (identical package type)
• Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (mechanical compatibility requirement)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (matching thermal specification)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 (regulatory requirement)

The BFC236625224 meets all substitution criteria as an active production alternative within the same manufacturer's portfolio.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236625224 is the direct substitute for the obsolete BFC236525224. Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and regulatory compliance status. The substitute part is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability, providing supply chain continuity. The transition from MKT365 to MKT366 series represents a manufacturer product line update with no functional impact on circuit performance or board-level integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236625224 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236525224?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching capacitance (0.22 µF), voltage ratings (100V DC / 63V AC), tolerance (±10%), dielectric material (polyester metallized), lead spacing (5.00mm), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C).

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

A: The MKT366 is the current production series replacement for the obsolete MKT365. No electrical or mechanical differences exist between the two series for this capacitance and voltage rating.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences?

A: The physical dimensions are identical. Both parts measure 0.413" L x 0.217" W (10.50mm x 5.50mm) for the main body, with a maximum seated height of 0.591" (15.00mm) and lead spacing of 0.197" (5.00mm).

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The BFC236625224 is ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original part.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute?

A: The BFC236625224 is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) packaging format.
