Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the MKT368 series is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The BFC236855334 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to BFC236853334 based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters: Identical capacitance (0.33 µF), tolerance (±10%), voltage ratings (400V DC / 220V AC), and dielectric material (polyester, metallized).

Mechanical Parameters: Identical package type (radial), mounting method (through hole), physical dimensions (26.00mm x 6.40mm), seated height (18.50mm), and lead spacing (22.50mm).

Environmental & Compliance: Identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), RoHS3 compliance status, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Series Designation: Both parts belong to the MKT368 series with active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BFC236853334 and BFC236855334 are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations. BFC236855334 currently maintains higher inventory levels (1943 pcs vs. 966 pcs), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications. Both parts meet all regulatory requirements and are suitable for direct substitution in general-purpose film capacitor applications requiring 0.33 µF at 400V DC.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC236855334 be used as a direct replacement for BFC236853334?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications (0.33 µF, ±10%, 400V DC / 220V AC), mechanical dimensions (26.00mm x 6.40mm, 22.50mm lead spacing), and environmental ratings (-55°C to 105°C). They are interchangeable in through-hole PCB applications.

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

A: No. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance status and identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited). No additional testing or qualification is required for substitution.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for MKT368 series capacitors?

A: Substitution is valid when capacitance value, tolerance, voltage ratings, dielectric material, operating temperature range, package type, physical dimensions, and lead spacing are identical. All these parameters must match exactly for direct interchangeability.

Q: Does the radial package type affect PCB layout compatibility?

A: No. Both parts use identical radial through-hole packaging with 22.50mm lead spacing and 26.00mm x 6.40mm body dimensions. PCB footprints and mounting holes remain unchanged.

Q: Are there any inventory or supply considerations for selecting between these parts?

A: BFC236855334 has higher current inventory (1943 pcs) compared to BFC236853334 (966 pcs). For applications requiring immediate availability or high-volume procurement, BFC236855334 may offer supply chain advantages.
