Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC238560562 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 5600 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 2000V (2kV) minimum (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 700V (exact match required)
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 110°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.591" (15.00mm) (exact match required)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match required)

The B32672L8562J000 meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BFC238560562 and B32672L8562J000 are Active status components with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification. The B32672L8562J000 offers higher inventory availability (17207 units in stock versus 744 units) and represents a functionally equivalent alternative. Physical dimensions show minor variations in length (0.02" difference) and seated height (0.039" difference), which remain within typical PCB layout tolerances for radial through-hole components. Both parts satisfy identical electrical specifications for DC link, DC filtering, high-frequency switching, and high-pulse DV/DT applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B32672L8562J000 be used as a direct replacement for BFC238560562?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 5600 pF capacitance, ±5% tolerance, 2000V DC rating, 700V AC rating, polypropylene metallized dielectric, -55°C to 110°C operating range, and 15.00mm lead spacing. Physical dimensions differ slightly but remain compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts.

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

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. The B32672L8562J000 includes REACH Unaffected status, while the BFC238560562 specifies Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). These differences do not affect functional equivalence.

Q: What applications are these capacitors suitable for?

A: Both parts are rated for DC link circuits, DC filtering applications, high-frequency switching environments, and high-pulse DV/DT conditions. Electrical specifications remain identical across all rated applications.

Q: Do the physical dimension differences affect PCB compatibility?

A: The B32672L8562J000 is 0.02" longer and 0.039" shorter in seated height compared to the BFC238560562. Lead spacing remains identical at 15.00mm. These variations are within standard PCB layout tolerances for radial through-hole components and do not compromise mechanical or electrical compatibility.
