Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BFC236853103 and BFC236855103 are active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 10000 pF film capacitors rated at 400V DC / 220V AC with polyester metallized dielectric construction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236855103 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236853103?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents within the MKT368 series with identical capacitance, voltage ratings, dielectric material, temperature range, and physical dimensions. Direct substitution is permissible without circuit redesign.

Q: Are there any differences in mechanical compatibility?

A: No. Both parts share identical lead spacing (0.394" / 10.00mm), package dimensions (0.492" L x 0.181" W), and mounting height (0.610" max). PCB layout and through-hole spacing require no modification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both BFC236853103 and BFC236855103 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this capacitor?

A: Substitution requires matching capacitance value, tolerance, DC and AC voltage ratings, dielectric material type, operating temperature range, mounting configuration, and physical dimensions. Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies a part as a direct equivalent.
