Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236545823 is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part BFC236645823 qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following criteria:

  • Identical capacitance value: 0.082 µF
  • Identical tolerance: ±10%
  • Identical voltage ratings: 250V DC / 160V AC
  • Identical dielectric material: Polyester, Metallized
  • Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
  • Identical mounting configuration: Through Hole, Radial
  • Identical physical dimensions and lead spacing
  • Identical termination type: PC Pins
  • Equivalent RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The primary distinction is product status: BFC236545823 is obsolete, while BFC236645823 is active. Both parts belong to the same manufacturer family (Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components) and represent successive series iterations (MKT365 to MKT366).
