BFC238564472 Film Capacitor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BFC238564472 is a 4700 pF film capacitor manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components, rated for 2000V DC and 700V AC operation. This polypropylene metallized radial capacitor is designed for DC link filtering, high-frequency switching, and high pulse applications requiring stable performance across -55°C to 110°C operating temperatures. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, with 758 units currently in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and design continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC238564472 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 4700 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 to 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: 0.591" (15.00mm) (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (equal or higher compliance required)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: BFC238560472 (Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components, same series MKP385) and B32672L8472J000 (EPCOS - TDK Electronics, B3267L series). Both maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility with the primary part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—BFC238564472, BFC238560472, and B32672L8472J000—are Active status components with ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

BFC238564472 and BFC238560472 are functionally identical within the MKP385 series from Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components. Both share identical electrical ratings, temperature range, and mechanical dimensions. Selection between these two depends on inventory availability and lead time requirements. BFC238560472 offers higher stock levels (2299 units) compared to BFC238564472 (758 units).

B32672L8472J000 from EPCOS - TDK Electronics (B3267L MKP High Current series) provides an alternative from a different manufacturer while maintaining all critical electrical parameters. Physical dimensions show minor variations: length is 0.709" (18.00mm) versus 0.689" (17.50mm) for Vishay parts, and seated height is 0.413" (10.50mm) versus 0.433" (11.00mm). These dimensional differences remain within typical PCB layout tolerances for radial through-hole components. B32672L8472J000 has the highest inventory availability (8416 units).

Selection should prioritize part availability, supply chain lead times, and PCB layout constraints related to the minor dimensional variations of the EPCOS part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC238560472 be used as a direct replacement for BFC238564472?

A: Yes. Both parts are from the same manufacturer (Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components), same series (MKP385), and share identical electrical specifications (4700 pF, ±5%, 2000V DC, 700V AC) and mechanical dimensions (0.689" L x 0.197" W, 15.00mm lead spacing). They are functionally interchangeable.

Q: Can B32672L8472J000 be used as a direct replacement for BFC238564472?

A: Yes, with consideration for physical dimensions. B32672L8472J000 maintains all critical electrical parameters (4700 pF, ±5%, 2000V DC, 700V AC) and lead spacing (15.00mm). Physical dimensions differ slightly: length is 0.709" (18.00mm) versus 0.689" (17.50mm), and seated height is 0.413" (10.50mm) versus 0.433" (11.00mm). These variations are typical for radial capacitors and generally compatible with standard PCB layouts. Verify PCB clearances before substitution.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution?

A: Capacitance value (4700 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage ratings (2000V DC minimum, 700V AC minimum), dielectric material (Polypropylene metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C to 110°C minimum), mounting type (Through Hole), package type (Radial), termination (PC Pins), and lead spacing (15.00mm) must all match or exceed the original specification.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. BFC238564472, BFC238560472, and B32672L8472J000 are all ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component procurement.

Q: Which substitute part has the best availability?

A: B32672L8472J000 (EPCOS - TDK Electronics) has the highest inventory level at 8416 units, followed by BFC238560472 (Vishay) at 2299 units. Availability should be confirmed with your supplier for current stock status.
