Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236525474 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria determine valid substitutes:

Electrical equivalence requires matching capacitance value (0.47 µF), tolerance (±10%), and voltage ratings (100V DC / 63V AC). The dielectric material must remain polyester metallized to maintain performance characteristics across the specified operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C).

Mechanical compatibility requires identical mounting type (through hole), package configuration (radial), physical dimensions (0.413" L x 0.236" W / 10.50mm x 6.00mm), maximum seated height (0.610" / 15.50mm), and lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm). Termination must be PC pins to ensure PCB compatibility.

Compliance requirements include ROHS3 certification to meet current regulatory standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236625474 is a direct substitute for the obsolete BFC236525474. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components and share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications. The primary distinction is product status: the BFC236525474 is obsolete while the BFC236625474 is active and currently in production.

Selection of the BFC236625474 is appropriate for new designs and component replenishment. The active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for applications requiring 0.47 µF capacitance at 100V DC operation across the -55°C to 105°C temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236625474 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236525474?

A: Yes. Both components have identical capacitance (0.47 µF), tolerance (±10%), voltage ratings (100V DC / 63V AC), dielectric material (polyester metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and mechanical specifications including dimensions, lead spacing, and termination type.

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

A: The BFC236525474 belongs to the MKT365 series and is obsolete. The BFC236625474 belongs to the MKT366 series and is active. The series designation reflects manufacturing updates, but electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Q: Are there any packaging differences?

A: The BFC236625474 is specified with Tape & Box (TB) packaging. Both components use radial through-hole configuration with identical physical dimensions and lead spacing, ensuring PCB compatibility.

Q: Does the substitute meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The BFC236625474 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic components.

Q: Can these capacitors be used interchangeably in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Identical mechanical dimensions (0.413" L x 0.236" W, 10.50mm x 6.00mm), lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), and PC pin termination ensure direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.
