Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC246941104 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.1 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage ratings: 250V DC and 160V AC (exact match required)
• Dielectric material: Polyester, Metallized (exact match required)
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole Radial with PC Pin termination (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (exact match required)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The BFC246753104 qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components share identical capacitance, voltage ratings, dielectric composition, mounting type, and lead spacing. The primary distinction is product status (active versus obsolete) and series designation (MKT467 versus MKT469), with no functional impact on circuit performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC246753104 is a direct functional equivalent to the BFC246941104 for all circuit applications. Selection between these components should be based on the following factors:

Product Status Consideration: The BFC246753104 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and compliance updates. The BFC246941104 is obsolete, limiting future procurement options and technical support.

Compliance Alignment: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance, satisfying regulatory requirements for new designs and legacy system support.

Series Transition: The shift from MKT469 to MKT467 series represents a manufacturer product line evolution with no impact on electrical or mechanical performance within the specified parameter set.

Procurement Strategy: For new designs or system refreshes, the BFC246753104 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance requiring exact part matching, the BFC246941104 remains functionally equivalent where inventory permits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC246753104 be used as a direct replacement for BFC246941104 in existing circuits?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (0.1 µF, 250V DC, 160V AC), dielectric composition (polyester metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and mechanical configuration (through-hole radial with 10mm lead spacing). No circuit modifications are required.

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

A: Series designation reflects manufacturer product line organization and does not indicate functional differences. Both series employ identical dielectric materials, voltage ratings, and capacitance values for this specific part number combination.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The BFC246941104 is specified with standard packaging, while the BFC246753104 is supplied in bulk packaging. Physical dimensions and lead spacing remain identical, ensuring PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Q: Why is the BFC246941104 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation of the MKT469 series in favor of the active MKT467 series. The BFC246753104 represents the current production equivalent.

Q: Are both components suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both components operate across the -55°C to 105°C temperature range, supporting applications requiring extended thermal performance within this specification.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions in electronic equipment manufacturing and assembly.
