Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC236853154 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.15 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage ratings: 400V DC / 220V AC (exact match required)
• Dielectric material: Polyester, Metallized (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package configuration: Radial (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.591" / 15.00mm (exact match required)

The substitute part BFC236855154 meets all these criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent within the MKT368 series.
