Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC237051152 is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters: capacitance value (1500 pF), voltage rating (400V DC / 220V AC), dielectric material (polyester metallized), mounting type (through hole radial), lead spacing (5.08mm), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C). The BFC237052152 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Tolerance variation (±5% versus ±10%) represents an upgrade in precision capability and does not preclude substitution, as tighter tolerance specifications are compatible with applications designed for the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BFC237051152 and BFC237052152 maintain active product status with identical AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. The BFC237052152 provides improved capacitance tolerance (±5%) compared to the original part (±10%), making it suitable for applications requiring tighter tolerance specifications without compromising electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts depends on circuit tolerance requirements and application-specific precision needs. Both parts are qualified for automotive use and meet all regulatory compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
