Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC236851472 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must match identically for a part to qualify as a direct substitute:

• Capacitance value: 4700 pF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Voltage Rating - DC: 400V
• Voltage Rating - AC: 220V
• Dielectric Material: Polyester, Metallized
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 105°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial
• Lead Spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm)
• Termination: PC Pins

The BFC236855472 meets all these criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent within the MKT368 series.
