Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BFC246955152 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Capacitance: 1500 pF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Voltage Rating - DC: 400V
• Voltage Rating - AC: 220V
• Dielectric Material: Polyester, Metallized
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial
• Lead Spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm)
• Termination: PC Pins

Compliance (Must Match or Exceed):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The BFC246728152 meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters and maintains ROHS3 compliance, qualifying it as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC246728152 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete BFC246955152. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components and maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility.

The BFC246728152 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

The primary dimensional difference is the seated height: the BFC246728152 measures 0.571" (14.50mm) compared to the BFC246955152 at 0.453" (11.50mm). This 0.118" (3.00mm) height increase must be evaluated against available PCB clearance in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BFC246728152 be used as a direct replacement for the BFC246955152?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (1500 pF), tolerance (±10%), voltage ratings (400V DC / 220V AC), dielectric material (polyester metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), lead spacing (10.00mm), and termination type (PC pins). The primary consideration is the increased seated height of the substitute part.

Q: What is the height difference between these parts?

A: The BFC246955152 has a maximum seated height of 0.453" (11.50mm), while the BFC246728152 measures 0.571" (14.50mm). This represents a 0.118" (3.00mm) increase. Verify available vertical clearance on the PCB before substitution.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the BFC246955152 and BFC246728152 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Why is the BFC246955152 obsolete?

A: The BFC246955152 belongs to the MKT469 series, which has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The BFC246728152 from the active MKT467 series provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with ongoing availability.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are specified with identical capacitance, tolerance, voltage ratings, dielectric material, and operating temperature range. Electrical performance is equivalent.
