Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC236542273 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.027 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 250V DC minimum / 160V AC minimum
• Dielectric material: Polyester, Metallized (exact match required)
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole, Radial package
• Physical dimensions: 10.00mm × 4.00mm footprint with 5.00mm lead spacing
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (exact match required)
• Termination style: PC Pins (exact match required)

The BFC236642273 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and material composition. The primary distinction is product status: BFC236642273 is active production, whereas BFC236542273 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236642273 is the direct equivalent for BFC236542273 applications. Both components maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance. The substitution is based on:
