• 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)
• Lead Spacing: 0.591" (15.00mm) (exact match required)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match required)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The B32672L8272J000 from EPCOS - TDK Electronics meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The B32672L8272J000 is a direct functional equivalent to the BFC238580272. Both components are Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications. The minor dimensional variations (length and seated height) fall within typical manufacturing tolerances for radial film capacitors and do not affect electrical performance or circuit board layout compatibility given the standard lead spacing of 15.00mm.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and cost considerations. Both parts satisfy the same application requirements for DC link, DC filtering, high-frequency switching, and high-pulse DV/DT circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B32672L8272J000 be used as a direct replacement for BFC238580272?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (2700 pF, ±5%, 2000V DC, 700V AC), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 110°C), mounting configuration (through-hole radial), lead spacing (15.00mm), and RoHS3 compliance status. The minor physical dimension differences do not affect functional interchangeability.

Q: Are there any physical compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: The lead spacing is identical at 0.591" (15.00mm), ensuring PCB footprint compatibility. The B32672L8272J000 has slightly different length and seated height dimensions, but these variations are within standard tolerances for radial film capacitors and do not create mounting or clearance issues in typical circuit board designs.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance and certification requirements?

A: Yes. Both the BFC238580272 and B32672L8272J000 are ROHS3 compliant with EAR99 ECCN classification and HTSUS code 8532.25.0070. The BFC238580272 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), while the B32672L8272J000 is MSL Not Applicable, indicating superior moisture resistance characteristics.

Q: What applications are these capacitors suitable for?

A: Both parts are rated for DC link, DC filtering, high-frequency switching, and high-pulse DV/DT applications. The 2000V DC rating and polypropylene metallized dielectric provide reliable performance in high-voltage power conversion and filtering circuits.

Q: Are there inventory or availability differences between these parts?

A: The BFC238580272 has 818 pieces in stock, while the B32672L8272J000 has 3187 pieces available. Availability may influence selection based on project timeline and supply chain requirements.
