Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BFC236541563 are classified based on the following substitution criteria:

MFR Recommended Substitute (Direct Replacement): The BFC236641563 maintains identical electrical specifications: 0.056 µF capacitance, ±10% tolerance, 250V DC / 160V AC voltage ratings, polyester metallized dielectric, and identical physical dimensions. This part differs only in series designation (MKT366 vs. MKT365) and product status (Active vs. Obsolete), making it a direct functional equivalent with improved availability.

Parametric Equivalent (Higher Voltage Rating): The BFC236651563 shares the same capacitance value (0.056 µF), tolerance (±10%), dielectric material (polyester metallized), physical dimensions, and thermal operating range. However, it features an elevated voltage rating of 400V DC / 220V AC compared to the original 250V DC / 160V AC specification. This part is suitable for applications where the original voltage rating is not a limiting constraint and higher voltage margin is acceptable.

Both substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, identical mounting configuration (through-hole radial), and equivalent mechanical footprint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement Applications: The BFC236641563 is the primary substitute for the obsolete BFC236541563. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The BFC236641563 carries Active product status with confirmed inventory availability (765 Pcs), ensuring supply chain continuity for new production and field replacements.

For Applications Tolerant of Higher Voltage Ratings: The BFC236651563 serves as a parametric equivalent when circuit design permits operation at elevated voltage ratings. This part provides 400V DC / 220V AC capability while maintaining the same capacitance, tolerance, physical footprint, and thermal range. Active product status and higher inventory levels (1065 Pcs) support long-term availability. Selection of this part is appropriate only when the application circuit does not impose a maximum voltage constraint that would be violated by the higher rating.

Both substitute parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance status and are manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring consistency in quality and reliability standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236641563 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236541563? A: Yes. The BFC236641563 is electrically and mechanically identical to the BFC236541563, differing only in series designation and product status. Both parts share the same 0.056 µF capacitance, ±10% tolerance, 250V DC / 160V AC voltage ratings, polyester metallized dielectric, and radial through-hole configuration with identical physical dimensions and lead spacing.

Q: What is the difference between BFC236641563 and BFC236651563? A: The primary difference is voltage rating. BFC236641563 maintains the original 250V DC / 160V AC specification, while BFC236651563 provides 400V DC / 220V AC capability. Both parts share identical capacitance (0.056 µF), tolerance (±10%), dielectric material, physical dimensions, and thermal operating range. Selection depends on circuit voltage requirements.

Q: Can BFC236651563 replace BFC236541563 in any application? A: BFC236651563 is suitable only for applications where the circuit voltage does not exceed 250V DC / 160V. The higher voltage rating of BFC236651563 does not create compatibility issues in lower-voltage circuits, but substitution should be confirmed against specific circuit design parameters.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. BFC236541563, BFC236641563, and BFC236651563 are all ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What is the lead spacing for these radial capacitors? A: All three parts feature 5.00mm (0.197") lead spacing, maintaining compatibility with standard through-hole PCB layouts designed for the original BFC236541563.

Q: Why is BFC236541563 listed as Obsolete? A: The BFC236541563 carries Obsolete product status, indicating discontinued manufacturing. The BFC236641563 and BFC236651563 are Active products from the same manufacturer, providing continued availability and supply chain support for equivalent functionality.
