Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BFC237521201 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence within the KP/MKP 375 series. The substitution criteria are limited to the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 200 pF
• Tolerance: ±3.5%
• Voltage Rating - DC: 1000V (1kV)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 400V
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial
• Lead Spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.571" L x 0.217" W (14.50mm x 5.50mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.532" (13.50mm)
• Termination: PC Pins
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Parts meeting all these criteria are considered direct parametric equivalents and may be substituted without circuit redesign or performance impact.
