Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC236853105 is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 1 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 400V DC / 220V AC (exact match required)
• Dielectric type: Polyester, Metallized (exact match required)
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 1.083" (27.50mm) (exact match required)
• Termination style: PC Pins (exact match required)

The BFC236855105 meets all these criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent within the MKT368 series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236855105 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236853105?

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

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance status and MSL Level 1 ratings. No compliance differences exist between the two part numbers.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for BFC236853105?

A: Substitution requires exact equivalence in capacitance (1 µF), tolerance (±10%), voltage rating (400V DC / 220V AC), dielectric type (Polyester, Metallized), mounting configuration (Through Hole Radial), lead spacing (27.50mm), and termination style (PC Pins). Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies a part from substitution.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions: 1.181" L x 0.413" W (30.00mm x 10.50mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.925" (23.50mm) and lead spacing of 1.083" (27.50mm). PCB layout and mechanical clearance requirements are identical.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. No design changes, circuit modifications, or PCB layout adjustments are required when substituting between BFC236853105 and BFC236855105. Both parts are pin-compatible and functionally equivalent.
