Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236555223 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.022 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 400V DC / 220V AC (exact match required)
• Dielectric material: Polyester, Metallized (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions and lead spacing: 10.00mm x 5.00mm with 5.00mm lead spacing (exact match required)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match required)

The BFC236655223 qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: BFC236555223 is obsolete, while BFC236655223 is active and available.
