Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BFC236542563 are classified into two categories based on electrical parameter alignment:

MFR Recommended Substitute (BFC236642563): Direct functional equivalent with identical electrical specifications. Capacitance, tolerance, voltage ratings, dielectric material, temperature range, physical dimensions, and lead spacing match the original part exactly. The primary distinction is product status transition from obsolete to active, with packaging change from bulk to Tape & Reel format. Series designation changes from MKT365 to MKT366.

Parametric Equivalent (BFC236652563): Maintains identical capacitance, tolerance, dielectric material, temperature range, physical dimensions, and lead spacing. Voltage rating increases to 400V DC / 220V AC, providing enhanced voltage margin. This part functions as a direct drop-in replacement with superior electrical stress headroom. Series designation is MKT366 with active product status.

Substitution eligibility is determined by: capacitance value, tolerance specification, dielectric material type, operating temperature range, physical dimensions, lead spacing, mounting type, and termination style. All substitute parts satisfy these criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement: BFC236642563 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute, offering identical electrical and mechanical specifications with active product status. This part is suitable for applications requiring exact parameter matching and is available in Tape & Reel packaging for automated assembly processes.

For Enhanced Voltage Margin: BFC236652563 provides increased voltage rating (400V DC / 220V AC) while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical parameters. This part is appropriate for applications where additional voltage headroom is beneficial or where circuit design permits higher-rated components. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance are maintained.

Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification, matching the regulatory profile of the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236642563 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236542563? A: Yes. BFC236642563 maintains identical capacitance (0.056 µF), tolerance (±5%), voltage ratings (250V DC / 160V AC), dielectric material (polyester metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), physical dimensions (10.00mm x 4.00mm), lead spacing (5.00mm), and termination style (PC Pins). The primary difference is product status transition from obsolete to active.

Q: What is the difference between BFC236642563 and BFC236652563? A: Both parts share identical capacitance, tolerance, dielectric material, temperature range, and physical dimensions. BFC236652563 features increased voltage rating at 400V DC / 220V AC compared to 250V DC / 160V AC for BFC236642563. Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Is BFC236652563 compatible with circuits designed for BFC236542563? A: Yes. BFC236652563 is a parametric equivalent with identical capacitance and tolerance. The higher voltage rating (400V DC / 220V AC) provides additional electrical stress margin and does not compromise compatibility in applications rated for 250V DC / 160V AC operation.

Q: What packaging formats are available for substitute parts? A: BFC236642563 and BFC236652563 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes. The original BFC236542563 was supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. BFC236542563, BFC236642563, and BFC236652563 are all ROHS3 compliant.
