Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC246705683 is determined by the following criteria:

• Capacitance value must equal 0.068 µF
• Tolerance must be ±5% or tighter
• Voltage rating must meet or exceed 100V DC
• Dielectric material must be polyester, metallized
• Operating temperature range must encompass -55°C to 105°C
• Mounting type must be through hole with radial package configuration
• Lead spacing must be 0.394" (10.00mm)
• Termination must be PC pins
• RoHS3 compliance required

The substitute part 160683J250C-F satisfies all substitution criteria, offering a higher voltage rating (250V DC) while maintaining identical capacitance, tolerance, temperature range, and mechanical compatibility.
