Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC238322154 is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.15 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (matching tolerance band)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 630V (minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable)
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (material class equivalence)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (mechanical compatibility)
• Package / Case: Radial (form factor equivalence)
• Lead Spacing: 0.591" (15.00mm) (PCB footprint compatibility)
• Termination: PC Pins (connection method equivalence)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory compliance)

The substitute part B32652A6154J000 meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BFC238322154 and B32652A6154J000 are Active status components with ROHS3 compliance. The substitute part B32652A6154J000 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and REACH Unaffected status, providing additional regulatory coverage for automotive applications. The substitute maintains identical DC voltage rating, capacitance, tolerance, and lead spacing, ensuring direct PCB compatibility. The operating temperature range of the substitute extends to 100°C (versus 105°C for the main part), which is acceptable for most industrial and commercial applications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) and application-specific certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B32652A6154J000 be used as a direct replacement for BFC238322154?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (0.15 µF), tolerance (±5%), DC voltage rating (630V), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), mounting type (through hole radial), lead spacing (15.00mm), and termination (PC pins). PCB footprint compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference in AC voltage rating between these parts?

A: The main part is rated 220V AC, while the substitute is rated 250V AC. For DC applications, this difference is not relevant. For AC applications, the substitute provides higher AC voltage capability.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: Yes. The BFC238322154 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while B32652A6154J000 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects procurement and assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Does the substitute part have automotive qualification?

A: Yes. B32652A6154J000 carries AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable for automotive applications. The main part does not list this certification.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference?

A: The main part operates from -55°C to 105°C, while the substitute operates from -55°C to 100°C. The 5°C difference at the upper limit is acceptable for most applications outside extreme high-temperature environments.
