Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BFC238564682 and B32672L8682J000 maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications. The substitute part B32672L8682J000 (EPCOS - TDK Electronics) demonstrates equivalent electrical performance across all specified voltage, capacitance, and temperature parameters.

Physical dimensions show minor variations: the EPCOS part measures 0.709" in length versus 0.689" for the Vishay part, with a reduced seated height of 0.433" compared to 0.472". These dimensional differences remain within typical PCB layout tolerances for radial through-hole components with 15.00mm lead spacing. Both parts utilize identical PC pin termination and maintain the same dielectric material specification.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and PCB layout constraints. The substitute part offers higher inventory availability (22,765 pcs versus 1,098 pcs) while maintaining full electrical equivalence.
