Engineering Selection Recommendations

The B32672L1622J000 (EPCOS - TDK Electronics) is a direct substitute for the BFC238502622 based on the following engineering criteria:

Both parts maintain identical capacitance (6200 pF) and DC voltage rating (1600V), ensuring functional equivalence in DC link and filtering circuits
Both employ polypropylene metallized dielectric with matching operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 110°C)
Both are ROHS3 compliant with equivalent termination (PC Pins) and lead spacing (15.00mm)
The substitute part features a higher AC voltage rating (600V vs. 550V), providing additional margin in AC applications
Physical dimensions are compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts; the substitute exhibits slightly lower seated height (10.50mm vs. 11.00mm) and marginally longer body length (18.00mm vs. 17.50mm), both within acceptable mechanical tolerances for radial component placement
Both parts are active production status with established supply availability

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B32672L1622J000 be used as a direct replacement for BFC238502622 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (6200 pF), DC voltage rating (1600V), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 110°C), lead spacing (15.00mm), and termination type (PC Pins). Physical dimensions are compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Vishay vs. EPCOS - TDK), AC voltage rating (550V vs. 600V), and minor physical dimensions. The substitute part has a lower seated height (10.50mm vs. 11.00mm) and slightly longer body length (18.00mm vs. 17.50mm). These variations do not affect electrical performance or PCB compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both BFC238502622 and B32672L1622J000 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: What applications are these capacitors suitable for?

A: Both parts are rated for DC link filtering, high-frequency switching, and high pulse/DV/DT applications. The 1600V DC rating and polypropylene dielectric make them suitable for power conversion and energy storage circuits.

Q: Does the higher AC voltage rating of the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. A higher AC voltage rating (600V vs. 550V) on the substitute part provides additional safety margin and does not compromise compatibility. The part remains suitable for all applications where the original part was specified.

Q: Are there any lead spacing or mounting considerations when substituting?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical lead spacing (15.00mm) and through-hole radial mounting configuration, ensuring direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.
