Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BFC238340222 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Core Matching Criteria:

• Capacitance value: 2200 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Dielectric material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package type: Radial (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.591" (15.00mm) (exact match required)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage rating - DC: Equal to or greater than 1400V
• Voltage rating - AC: Equal to or greater than 500V
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass or exceed -55°C ~ 105°C
• Physical dimensions: Minor variations acceptable within standard radial package tolerances
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 or equivalent environmental standard

The identified substitute parts B32652J1222J000 and B32672L8222J000 satisfy all core matching criteria and provide equal or enhanced voltage ratings, ensuring direct circuit compatibility while offering improved performance margins.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

B32652J1222J000 (EPCOS - TDK Electronics): This substitute provides a 200V DC voltage rating increase (1600V vs. 1400V) and 200V AC rating increase (700V vs. 500V) while maintaining identical capacitance, tolerance, and dielectric specifications. Operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 100°C, which covers the minimum requirement of -55°C but operates 5°C lower at the upper limit. ROHS3 compliance and Active product status ensure regulatory alignment and long-term availability. Physical dimensions increase marginally (18.00mm vs. 17.50mm length), requiring PCB layout verification for space-constrained applications.

B32672L8222J000 (EPCOS - TDK Electronics): This substitute delivers the highest voltage rating margin with 2000V DC (600V above original specification) and 700V AC rating. Operating temperature range extends to 110°C, exceeding the original upper limit by 5°C. This part is designated for high-frequency and switching applications with enhanced current-handling capability. ROHS3 compliance and Active product status confirm regulatory compliance and supply continuity. Physical dimensions match B32652J1222J000 (18.00mm length), requiring identical PCB layout consideration.

Both substitutes maintain Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and sufficient inventory levels for production deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B32652J1222J000 or B32672L8222J000 be used as direct replacements for BFC238340222?

A: Yes, both parts qualify as direct substitutes. All core electrical parameters (capacitance, tolerance, dielectric material) and mechanical specifications (mounting type, package, lead spacing, termination) are identical. The substitute parts provide equal or higher voltage ratings, ensuring circuit compatibility and improved performance margins.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: B32652J1222J000 provides 1600V DC rating and is optimized for automotive and DC filtering applications. B32672L8222J000 provides 2000V DC rating and is optimized for high-frequency and switching applications with extended temperature range to 110°C. Both maintain identical capacitance and tolerance specifications.

Q: Will the slightly larger physical dimensions of the substitute parts affect PCB layout?

A: The substitute parts measure 18.00mm in length compared to 17.50mm for the original part, a 0.50mm increase. Lead spacing remains identical at 15.00mm. PCB layout verification is required for space-constrained designs, but standard radial package footprints typically accommodate this dimensional variation.

Q: Are there any temperature range limitations when substituting?

A: B32652J1222J000 operates to 100°C maximum, which is 5°C below the original part's 105°C rating. For applications requiring operation above 100°C, B32672L8222J000 is recommended, as it operates to 110°C. For applications operating within -55°C ~ 100°C, both substitutes are fully compatible.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes, both B32652J1222J000 and B32672L8222J000 are ROHS3 compliant, matching the environmental compliance status of the original BFC238340222.

Q: What inventory status should be considered for production planning?

A: BFC238340222 has 691 pieces in stock. B32652J1222J000 has 16,533 pieces available, and B32672L8222J000 has 18,410 pieces available. The substitute parts offer significantly higher inventory levels for sustained production requirements.
