BFC246928124 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BFC246928124 is a 0.12 µF film capacitor rated for 100V DC operation, manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components as part of the MKT469 series. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. The radial through-hole configuration with PC pins and polyester metallized dielectric makes this capacitor suitable for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the specified temperature range.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BFC246928124 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Capacitance value: 0.12 µF (exact match required)
  • Voltage rating: 100V DC minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
  • Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
  • Dielectric type: Polyester, Metallized (exact match required)
  • Mounting configuration: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
  • Lead spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match required)
  • Termination style: PC Pins (exact match required)
  • Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (equal or wider range acceptable)
  • RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained)

The BFC246706124 qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with these parameters. Both components share identical electrical specifications, dielectric composition, and mechanical interface requirements. The primary distinction lies in series designation (MKT467 vs. MKT469), product status (Active vs. Obsolete), and physical height, with the substitute offering a more compact form factor.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC246706124 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete BFC246928124 based on complete electrical and mechanical equivalence. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for applications requiring 0.12 µF capacitance at 100V DC with polyester metallized dielectric technology.

The substitute part offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The reduced seated height (0.630" vs. 0.728") provides a space optimization benefit for PCB layouts while maintaining full electrical compatibility and identical lead spacing for direct board-level substitution.

No functional performance degradation occurs with this substitution. The component selection should be based on availability requirements and PCB height constraints specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC246706124 be used as a direct replacement for BFC246928124 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical lead spacing (0.394" / 10.00mm), termination style (PC Pins), and electrical specifications. The substitute's reduced height (0.630" vs. 0.728") presents no compatibility issues and may provide layout advantages.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Capacitance (0.12 µF), voltage ratings (100V DC / 63V AC), tolerance (±10%), dielectric material (Polyester, Metallized), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) are identical across both components.

Q: What is the significance of the different series designations (MKT469 vs. MKT467)?

A: Series designation reflects internal manufacturing evolution within Vishay's product line. The MKT467 series (substitute) represents the current production standard, while MKT469 (main part) is obsolete. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain equivalent.

Q: Does the substitute maintain RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. BFC246706124 is ROHS3 Compliant, matching the compliance status of the original component.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute?

A: BFC246706124 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes. The main part was supplied in standard packaging configuration.
