Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the BFC237055103 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 10000 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 400V (minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 220V (minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable)
• 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 / Case: Radial (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.200" (5.08mm) (exact match required)
• Series Compatibility: MKT370 series or equivalent automotive-grade film capacitor
• Compliance: AEC-Q200 rating and ROHS3 compliance (required for automotive applications)

The identified substitute BFC237051103 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct parametric equivalent suitable for one-to-one replacement.
