Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC238561222 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 2200 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 2000V minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 700V minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 110°C minimum (equal or wider acceptable)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial (exact match required)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The MKP1U012203F00JSSD from WIMA meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MKP1U012203F00JSSD is a direct equivalent to the BFC238561222 based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and actively produced. The substitute part exhibits a minor dimensional variance in length (0.512" versus 0.492"), which remains within acceptable mechanical tolerances for through-hole radial capacitor applications. Both components are suitable for DC link, DC filtering, high frequency switching, and high pulse DV/DT applications. Selection between these parts may be based on availability, lead time, or inventory requirements, as electrical performance and compliance certifications are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MKP1U012203F00JSSD replace the BFC238561222 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (2200 pF, ±5%, 2000V DC, 700V AC), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 110°C), and mechanical mounting characteristics (through-hole radial, PC pins, 10.00mm lead spacing). The minor length difference (0.512" versus 0.492") does not affect PCB layout compatibility for standard through-hole applications.

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

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant. The BFC238561222 carries MSL rating 1 (Unlimited). The MKP1U012203F00JSSD is REACH Unaffected. Both share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification (8532.25.0070).

Q: What applications are these capacitors suitable for?

A: The BFC238561222 is specified for DC link, DC filtering, high frequency switching, and high pulse DV/DT applications. The MKP1U012203F00JSSD is specified for high pulse DV/DT applications. Both are suitable for circuits requiring high voltage polypropylene film capacitors with stable performance across extended temperature ranges.

Q: How do the physical dimensions affect PCB design?

A: Both components use radial through-hole packaging with identical lead spacing (10.00mm) and seated height (11.00mm). The length difference (0.512" versus 0.492") is minor and does not impact standard PCB footprint design. Verify available board space if component orientation or proximity to other elements is constrained.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) difference?

A: The BFC238561222 has MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The MKP1U012203F00JSSD is listed as MSL Not Applicable, which is typical for film capacitors that do not absorb moisture. Both are suitable for standard storage and handling conditions without special moisture control requirements.
