Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236546273 is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part BFC236646273 qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following criteria:

• Identical capacitance value: 0.027 µF
• Identical tolerance specification: ±5%
• 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: 10.00mm x 4.00mm with 5.00mm lead spacing
• Identical termination type: PC Pins
• Identical RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: BFC236546273 is obsolete, while BFC236646273 is active. Both parts belong to the Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components manufacturer family and maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility.
