Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The BFC236645273 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical capacitance value: 0.027 µF
• Matching tolerance specification: ±10%
• Equivalent voltage ratings: 250V DC / 160V AC
• Same dielectric material: Polyester, Metallized
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
• Matching mechanical configuration: Through Hole, Radial package
• Identical lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Equivalent termination: PC Pins
• Matching compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part differs only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and series designation (MKT366 vs. MKT365), with no impact on electrical or mechanical compatibility.
