Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC237015154 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.15 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 63V DC minimum / 40V AC minimum
• Dielectric type: Polyester, Metallized
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole Radial
• Lead spacing: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Termination style: PC Pins
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 100°C minimum
• Automotive compliance: AEC-Q200 certification

The identified substitute BFC237011154 meets all these criteria and is manufactured by the same supplier within the same MKT370 series, ensuring functional and mechanical interchangeability in automotive circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
