Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BFC236823474 and BFC236825474 maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements, as electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are equivalent across all specified parameters.

The BFC236825474 currently maintains higher inventory levels (2203 pcs vs. 745 pcs), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications or extended lead-time mitigation strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236825474 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236823474?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, dielectric material, operating temperature range, package dimensions, and lead spacing. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: Are there any differences in RoHS compliance between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The BFC236823474 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, while the BFC236825474 lists MSL as Not Applicable. This distinction does not affect substitution eligibility for standard applications.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this capacitor?

A: Substitution is determined by matching capacitance (0.47 µF), tolerance (±10%), voltage rating (100V DC / 63V AC), dielectric type (Polyester, Metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and mechanical compatibility (radial through-hole, 15.00mm lead spacing, PC pin termination).

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions: 0.689" L x 0.217" W (17.50mm x 5.50mm) body size, 0.571" (14.50mm) maximum seated height, and 0.591" (15.00mm) lead spacing for PCB mounting.

Q: What is the series designation for these parts?

A: Both parts belong to the MKT368 series from Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components, confirming product family equivalence.
