Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC238561562 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 (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 700V (exact match required)
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (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 from EPCOS - TDK Electronics meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BFC238561562 and B32672L8562J000 are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification. The B32672L8562J000 offers higher inventory availability (17,207 units in stock versus 1,044 units). Physical dimensions differ slightly: the EPCOS part is 0.020" longer but 0.039" shorter in height. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications and lead spacing, ensuring direct functional interchangeability in through-hole PCB applications. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement lead time, inventory availability, and physical space constraints within the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B32672L8562J000 be used as a direct replacement for the BFC238561562?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (5600 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage ratings (2000V DC / 700V AC), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), mounting type (through hole radial), lead spacing (15.00mm), and termination (PC pins). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: The BFC238561562 measures 0.689" L × 0.236" W with a maximum seated height of 0.472". The B32672L8562J000 measures 0.709" L × 0.236" W with a maximum seated height of 0.433". The EPCOS part is slightly longer but shorter in height. Verify PCB layout clearances before substitution.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the BFC238561562 and B32672L8562J000 are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 export classification.

Q: What applications are these capacitors suitable for?

A: The BFC238561562 is specified for DC link, DC filtering, high-frequency switching, high-pulse, and DV/DT applications. The B32672L8562J000 is specified for high-frequency switching and high-pulse DV/DT applications. Both are suitable for power electronics and switching power supply circuits.

Q: Is there a difference in moisture sensitivity between these parts?

A: The BFC238561562 has MSL 1 (Unlimited). The B32672L8562J000 lists MSL as Not Applicable. This difference does not affect substitution eligibility for standard storage and handling conditions.
