Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236526104 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the film capacitor category. The following parameters define acceptable substitutes:

• Capacitance value: 0.1 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 100V DC minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Dielectric type: Polyester, Metallized (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (equal or wider range acceptable)
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
• Termination style: PC Pins (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained)

The BFC236626104 meets all substitution criteria as an active product from the same manufacturer family with identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions.
