Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236555563 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.056 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (matching tolerance band)
• Voltage rating: 400V DC minimum / 220V AC minimum
• Dielectric type: Polyester, Metallized (material consistency)
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole radial with PC pins
• Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) center-to-center
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C minimum
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The BFC236655563 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and compatible physical dimensions within acceptable PCB layout tolerances.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC236655563 is the direct substitute for the obsolete BFC236555563. Both components maintain identical electrical performance across all critical parameters: capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, dielectric composition, and operating temperature range.

The substitute part carries Active product status from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. Both components meet ROHS3 compliance requirements.

Physical dimensions show minor reductions in the substitute part (width: 5.50mm to 4.00mm; height: 14.00mm to 13.50mm). These dimensional changes represent a more compact form factor while maintaining the standard 5.00mm lead spacing required for PCB compatibility. The reduced footprint presents no functional disadvantage and may provide layout benefits in space-constrained applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236655563 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236555563?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 0.056 µF capacitance, ±10% tolerance, 400V DC rating, polyester metallized dielectric, and -55°C to 105°C operating range. Lead spacing remains constant at 5.00mm, ensuring PCB compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and physical dimensions. BFC236555563 is obsolete; BFC236655563 is in active production. The substitute features a more compact body (10.00mm x 4.00mm vs. 10.00mm x 5.50mm) and reduced height (13.50mm vs. 14.00mm). Electrical performance is identical.

Q: Will the smaller physical size of BFC236655563 affect PCB layout?

A: No. The critical parameter for PCB compatibility is lead spacing, which remains 0.197" (5.00mm) on both parts. The reduced body dimensions of the substitute represent a more compact form factor that fits within standard through-hole PCB footprints.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both BFC236555563 and BFC236655563 are ROHS3 Compliant.

Q: Why is BFC236555563 marked as obsolete?

A: The MKT365 series has been superseded by the MKT366 series, represented by BFC236655563. The newer series maintains electrical equivalence while offering improved manufacturing processes and continued supply availability.
