Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC237066152 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part BFC237052152 qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following criteria:

• Identical capacitance value: 1500 pF
• Identical tolerance: ±5%
• Identical voltage ratings: 400V DC / 220V AC
• Identical dielectric material: Polyester, Metallized
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
• Identical mounting type: Through Hole, Radial configuration
• Identical physical dimensions and lead spacing: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Same series designation: MKT370
• Identical automotive qualification: AEC-Q200
• Identical compliance status: ROHS3 Compliant

The only difference between these parts is packaging format: BFC237066152 is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) format, while BFC237052152 is supplied in Bulk format. This distinction affects procurement and handling but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BFC237066152 and BFC237052152 are qualified for direct substitution in automotive applications requiring 1500 pF film capacitors at 400V DC operation. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement requirements and inventory management:

• BFC237066152 (Tape & Box format) is suitable for automated assembly processes and controlled component handling.
• BFC237052152 (Bulk format) is suitable for high-volume applications or when tape-and-reel packaging is not required.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and compliance certifications. The choice between them does not affect circuit performance, reliability, or regulatory compliance. Both parts are active products with established supply chains and automotive qualification status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC237052152 be used as a direct replacement for BFC237066152 in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with the same capacitance (1500 pF), voltage rating (400V DC / 220V AC), tolerance (±5%), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and physical dimensions. Both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. The only difference is packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Box and Bulk packaging?

A: Tape & Box (TB) format supplies components on tape reels within protective boxes, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Bulk format supplies loose components, typically used for manual assembly or high-volume applications where tape-and-reel is not required. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are these parts interchangeable on a PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical lead spacing (0.200" / 5.08mm), physical dimensions (0.283" L x 0.098" W), and radial configuration. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable without PCB redesign.

Q: Do both parts meet automotive standards?

A: Yes. Both BFC237066152 and BFC237052152 are rated to AEC-Q200 automotive qualification standards and are ROHS3 compliant, meeting automotive reliability and environmental requirements.

Q: Is there a performance difference between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are from the same MKT370 series manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components with identical electrical specifications, temperature characteristics, and long-life features.
