BFC238322244 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BFC238322244 is a 0.24 µF film capacitor manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components, rated for 630V DC operation with polypropylene metallized dielectric. This radial through-hole component is designed for high-pulse and DV/DT applications requiring stable capacitance across extended temperature ranges. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when packaging or inventory constraints necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of BFC238322244 with BFC238320244 is valid based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same capacitance (0.24 µF), tolerance (±5%), voltage ratings (630V DC / 220V AC), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), physical dimensions (26.00mm x 10.00mm), lead spacing (22.50mm), and termination type (PC Pins). The sole difference is packaging format: BFC238322244 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while BFC238320244 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. This substitution is applicable when tape and reel packaging is unavailable or when bulk quantities are preferred for assembly operations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BFC238320244 serves as a direct functional equivalent to BFC238322244 for applications requiring 0.24 µF capacitance at 630V DC with polypropylene metallized dielectric. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability. Both parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The BFC238322244 in tape and reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring component feeding systems. The BFC238320244 in bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly operations or when tape and reel format is unavailable. Electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and mechanical fit are identical across both packaging configurations. No performance degradation occurs when substituting between these part numbers within the same application circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC238320244 replace BFC238322244 in production assembly? A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The substitution is valid for any application using BFC238322244. The difference is packaging format only: tape and reel versus bulk. Automated pick-and-place systems require tape and reel format, while manual assembly can use either format.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts? A: Yes. Both parts have identical dimensions of 26.00mm length by 10.00mm width, maximum seated height of 19.50mm, and lead spacing of 22.50mm. PCB layout and mounting hole spacing remain unchanged when substituting between these part numbers.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards? A: Yes. Both BFC238322244 and BFC238320244 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). No compliance differences exist between these parts.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute between these part numbers? A: Packaging format and inventory availability. When tape and reel stock is depleted, bulk packaging provides the same component. Conversely, when bulk stock is unavailable, tape and reel format ensures supply continuity for automated assembly lines.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences? A: No. Capacitance (0.24 µF), tolerance (±5%), voltage ratings (630V DC / 220V AC), temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and dielectric material (polypropylene metallized) are identical. Electrical behavior in circuit operation is equivalent.
