Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and full regulatory certification. Selection between the BFC238340682 and its substitutes depends on application voltage requirements and physical space constraints.

The B32672L1682J000 provides a 1600V DC rating with a more compact footprint (height 10.50mm versus 13.50mm) and extended temperature range to 110°C. This substitute is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage margin with reduced board space.

The B32672L8682J000 offers the highest voltage rating at 2000V DC with a compact height of 11.00mm and extended temperature range to 110°C. This substitute is appropriate for high-voltage applications requiring maximum voltage headroom.

All three parts maintain identical capacitance, tolerance, dielectric material, lead spacing, and termination specifications. Physical dimensions differ slightly; board layout compatibility must be confirmed before substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B32672L1682J000 or B32672L8682J000 be used as direct replacements for BFC238340682?

A: Yes, both parts are direct functional equivalents. They maintain the same 6800 pF capacitance, ±5% tolerance, polypropylene metallized dielectric, 15.00mm lead spacing, and through-hole radial mounting. Both offer higher voltage ratings and extended temperature performance. Physical dimensions differ slightly; verify PCB layout compatibility before substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between the substitute parts?

A: B32672L1682J000 is rated for 1600V DC with a height of 10.50mm. B32672L8682J000 is rated for 2000V DC with a height of 11.00mm. Both have extended operating temperature to 110°C compared to the original 105°C maximum. The 2kV-rated part provides greater voltage margin for high-stress applications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and active production components. B32672L1682J000 and B32672L8682J000 carry REACH Unaffected status. All parts are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Will the physical size difference affect PCB assembly?

A: The substitute parts have different length and height dimensions. B32672L1682J000 measures 18.00mm length x 10.50mm height; B32672L8682J000 measures 18.00mm length x 11.00mm height. The original BFC238340682 measures 17.50mm length x 13.50mm height. Confirm PCB footprint and clearance requirements before substitution.

Q: What applications are these parts suitable for?

A: The BFC238340682 is specified for high pulse and DV/DT applications. The substitute parts B32672L1682J000 and B32672L8682J000 are rated for high frequency, switching, high pulse, and DV/DT applications, making them suitable for the same application classes with enhanced performance margins.
