Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC238374912 be used as a direct replacement for BFC238370912?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in capacitance (9100 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage ratings (2500V DC / 900V AC), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), physical dimensions, lead spacing, and series designation (MMKP383). They are functionally and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: Are there any differences in compliance or certifications between these parts?

A: Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating 1 (Unlimited). Both are classified under ECCN EAR99. The only difference is the HTSUS code, which reflects tariff classification and does not affect technical performance or compatibility.

Q: What applications are these capacitors suitable for?

A: These parts are specified for high-pulse and DV/DT applications. The 2500V DC and 900V AC ratings, combined with polypropylene metallized dielectric, make them suitable for high-voltage filtering, energy storage, and transient suppression circuits.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical dimensions: 1.024" L x 0.335" W (26.00mm x 8.50mm), maximum seated height of 0.709" (18.00mm), and lead spacing of 0.886" (22.50mm). They are pin-compatible for through-hole PCB mounting.

Q: What is the tolerance specification and how does it affect circuit design?

A: Both parts carry ±5% tolerance on the 9100 pF capacitance value. This means the actual capacitance will fall between 8645 pF and 9555 pF. Circuit designs must account for this tolerance range in high-precision applications.
