Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236651472 is based on maintaining identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. The substitute part BFC236655472 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all critical parameters: 4700 pF capacitance, ±10% tolerance, 400V DC and 220V AC voltage ratings, polyester metallized dielectric, identical operating temperature range, through-hole radial mounting, and matching lead spacing of 5.00mm. Both parts belong to the MKT366 series and share identical physical dimensions (10.00mm L x 4.00mm W with 13.50mm maximum seated height). The only difference between these parts is the packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) configuration. This packaging difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit in the application circuit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BFC236651472 and BFC236655472 are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compliance for current and future applications. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements. The Tape & Reel (TR) format of BFC236651472 is optimized for high-volume automated assembly processes, providing efficient component feeding and placement. The Cut Tape (CT) format of BFC236655472 is suitable for lower-volume production runs, prototype builds, or manual assembly operations where individual component handling is required. Both parts deliver identical electrical performance and mechanical fit, with no functional differentiation in circuit operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236655472 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236651472? A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications (4700 pF, ±10%, 400V DC, 220V AC) and mechanical dimensions (10.00mm x 4.00mm, 5.00mm lead spacing). The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect circuit performance or PCB mounting compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging? A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous carrier tape wound on a reel, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies the same components cut from the carrier tape in smaller quantities, suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production. Both formats contain identical components with no electrical or mechanical differences.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range? A: Yes. Both BFC236651472 and BFC236655472 operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, ensuring equivalent thermal performance in all application environments.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards? A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What applications are these capacitors designed for? A: These 4700 pF film capacitors are rated for general-purpose applications, including power supply filtering, coupling, and decoupling circuits where reliable performance at 400V DC and 220V AC is required.
