Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MKP1U012203F00JSSD (WIMA) is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the BFC238564222 (Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components). Both components are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance certification.

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts are rated identically for 2000V DC / 700V AC operation with 2200 pF capacitance at ±5% tolerance and polypropylene metallized dielectric construction. Operating temperature ranges are identical at -55°C to 110°C.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components feature radial through-hole mounting with PC pin termination and 0.394" (10.00mm) lead spacing. The WIMA part exhibits a length dimension of 0.512" (13.00mm) compared to the Vishay part at 0.492" (12.50mm), representing a 0.020" (0.50mm) increase. This dimensional variation remains within standard PCB layout tolerances and does not compromise mounting integrity or circuit board clearance in typical applications.

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for equivalent circuit applications without regulatory or environmental restriction differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MKP1U012203F00JSSD replace the BFC238564222 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical electrical specifications (2200 pF, ±5%, 2000V DC, 700V AC, -55°C to 110°C) and mechanical requirements (radial through-hole, 10.00mm lead spacing, PC pins). The 0.50mm length variation of the WIMA part does not affect PCB layout compatibility in standard applications.

Q: Are there any voltage or temperature derating considerations between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across identical voltage ratings (2000V DC / 700V AC) and temperature ranges (-55°C to 110°C). No derating adjustments are required when substituting between these components.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the BFC238564222 and MKP1U012203F00JSSD are ROHS3 compliant. No compliance differences exist between the two parts.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.50mm length difference?

A: The WIMA part (MKP1U012203F00JSSD) measures 13.00mm in length compared to the Vishay part (BFC238564222) at 12.50mm. This 0.50mm difference is within standard PCB design tolerances and does not impact mounting, clearance, or circuit performance in typical through-hole applications.

Q: Are the dielectric materials identical?

A: Yes. Both components use polypropylene (PP) metallized film dielectric construction, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and frequency response characteristics.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-frequency and high-pulse applications?

A: Yes. Both components are specified for high-frequency switching and high pulse/DV/DT applications. Electrical performance and pulse handling characteristics are equivalent.
