Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BFC236853102 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence within the MKT368 series. The following electrical and mechanical parameters must match exactly to qualify as a direct substitute:

• Capacitance value: 1000 pF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Voltage rating: 400V DC / 220V AC
• Dielectric type: Polyester, Metallized
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole, Radial
• Lead spacing: 10.00mm
• Termination style: PC Pins

The BFC236855102 meets all these criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent within the same product series and manufacturer family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BFC236853102 and BFC236855102 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Level 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability and lead time considerations. The BFC236855102 currently has higher stock availability (6160 units versus 885 units), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 1000 pF capacitance at 400V DC operation with polyester metallized dielectric construction.
