Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236552153 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 0.015 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating (DC): 400V (minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable)
• Voltage Rating (AC): 220V (minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable)
• Dielectric Material: Polyester, Metallized (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 105°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 10.00mm L × 4.00mm W (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 5.00mm (exact match required)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match required)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

Substitute parts must satisfy all parameters listed above to ensure mechanical fit, electrical performance, and regulatory compliance in the original application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236652153 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete BFC236552153. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction is product status: BFC236552153 is obsolete, while BFC236652153 is active and currently in production. The BFC236652153 is available in Tape & Reel packaging, which supports automated assembly processes. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99; HTSUS: 8532.25.0010).

For new designs and production applications, the BFC236652153 is the appropriate selection due to its active status and assured long-term availability. For field replacement or repair of existing equipment using the BFC236552153, the BFC236652153 provides direct functional and mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236652153 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236552153?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including capacitance, voltage rating, dielectric material, physical dimensions, and lead spacing. The BFC236652153 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute.

Q: What is the difference between the MKT365 and MKT366 series?

A: Both series are polyester metallized film capacitors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this capacitance and voltage rating. The series designation reflects internal manufacturing or design revisions by Vishay. For the 0.015 µF 400V radial configuration, both series are functionally equivalent.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: The BFC236552153 uses standard packaging, while BFC236652153 is supplied in Tape & Reel format. This difference affects handling and assembly processes but does not impact electrical performance or mechanical fit in the circuit. Both parts are compatible with through-hole PCB assembly.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both BFC236552153 and BFC236652153 are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99; HTSUS: 8532.25.0010).

Q: Why is BFC236552153 obsolete?

A: The BFC236552153 has been superseded by the BFC236652153 in the manufacturer's product line. The MKT366 series (BFC236652153) represents the current production standard for this capacitance and voltage rating.
