BFC237548271 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BFC237548271 is a 270 pF film capacitor rated for 2000V DC operation, manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components as part of the KP/MKP 375 series. This polypropylene metallized radial capacitor is designed for high-pulse and DV/DT applications requiring reliable performance across industrial temperature ranges. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and is available in Tape & Reel packaging. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across different packaging formats.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC237548271 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: capacitance value (270 pF), tolerance (±5%), DC voltage rating (2000V), AC voltage rating (600V), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), mounting type (through hole radial), lead spacing (10.00mm), and series designation (KP/MKP 375). The BFC237546271 meets all these criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent. The only difference between the main part and substitute is the packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) configuration. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance and physical dimensions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BFC237548271 and BFC237546271 are active production parts with identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts depends solely on packaging requirements for the assembly process. The Tape & Reel format (BFC237548271) is suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations. The Cut Tape format (BFC237546271) is appropriate for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs. Electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and mechanical fit are equivalent across both packaging options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC237546271 be used as a direct replacement for BFC237548271?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape. Selection depends on assembly process requirements, not component performance.

Q: Are there any differences in electrical specifications between these parts?

A: No. Capacitance (270 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage ratings (2000V DC / 600V AC), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) are identical.

Q: Do both parts have the same physical dimensions?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.728" L x 0.217" W (18.50mm x 5.50mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.630" (16.00mm) and lead spacing of 0.394" (10.00mm).

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on a reel, optimized for automated assembly. Cut Tape packaging supplies components on tape segments, suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both BFC237548271 and BFC237546271 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Which part should I select for high-volume automated assembly?

A: BFC237548271 (Tape & Reel) is optimized for automated pick-and-place equipment used in high-volume production.

Q: Which part should I select for manual assembly or prototyping?

A: BFC237546271 (Cut Tape) is more practical for manual assembly, prototyping, or lower-volume production runs.
