Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC236526474 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.47 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 100V DC minimum
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Dielectric type: Polyester, metallized construction
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole radial
• Termination: PC pins
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Two substitute parts meet these criteria. Both maintain identical electrical specifications and mounting compatibility while offering active product status and improved availability compared to the obsolete BFC236526474.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BFC236626474 is the primary substitute for BFC236526474. Both components are manufactured by Vishay and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The BFC236626474 is part of the active MKT366 series with superior inventory availability (1060 units), making it the preferred choice for direct replacement in existing designs without modification.

B32520C1474J000 serves as an alternative substitute manufactured by EPCOS - TDK Electronics. This component maintains equivalent electrical performance and offers the highest inventory availability (3168 units). However, the lead spacing differs at 0.295" (7.50mm) compared to the 0.197" (5.00mm) standard, requiring PCB layout verification before implementation. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) provides additional thermal margin. This part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating suitability for automotive and demanding industrial applications.

Both substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236626474 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236526474?

A: Yes. Both components share identical capacitance (0.47 µF), voltage ratings (100V DC / 63V AC), tolerance (±5%), dielectric material (polyester metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), and lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm). No PCB modifications are required.

Q: What is the key difference between BFC236626474 and B32520C1474J000?

A: The primary difference is lead spacing. BFC236626474 maintains the original 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing, while B32520C1474J000 uses 0.295" (7.50mm) spacing. PCB hole pattern compatibility must be confirmed before selecting B32520C1474J000. Additionally, B32520C1474J000 offers an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Q: Why is the BFC236526474 marked as obsolete?

A: The BFC236526474 belongs to the MKT365 series, which has been superseded by the MKT366 series (BFC236626474). Vishay has transitioned production to the newer series while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both BFC236626474 and B32520C1474J000 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: B32520C1474J000 provides the highest inventory level at 3168 units. BFC236626474 offers 1060 units. Selection should balance availability against lead spacing requirements for your specific PCB design.
