Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC246958823 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the film capacitor category. The substitute part BFC246730823 maintains identical electrical specifications: 0.082 µF capacitance, ±10% tolerance, 400V DC / 220V AC voltage ratings, and polyester metallized dielectric construction. Both components share identical lead spacing (10.00mm), through-hole radial mounting configuration, and PC pin termination. The substitute part differs in series designation (MKT467 versus MKT469) and product status (active versus obsolete), with a minor physical dimension variation in seated height (16.00mm versus 18.50mm). This height reduction does not affect electrical performance or PCB layout compatibility given the identical lead spacing and radial package type.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC246730823 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete BFC246958823. Both components are manufactured by Vishay and maintain full electrical equivalence across all critical parameters: capacitance value, voltage ratings, dielectric type, temperature range, and tolerance specifications. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. The seated height reduction in the substitute part (16.00mm versus 18.50mm) represents a design improvement in the MKT467 series and does not compromise electrical performance or mechanical fit given the preserved lead spacing and radial configuration. Selection of BFC246730823 is appropriate for new designs and production applications requiring the 0.082 µF / 400V DC film capacitor specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC246730823 be used as a direct replacement for BFC246958823 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications, lead spacing, and radial through-hole mounting configuration. The minor reduction in seated height does not affect PCB layout compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The BFC246958823 is classified as obsolete. The BFC246730823 is an active equivalent from the same manufacturer that maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The substitute part does not list Moisture Sensitivity Level, whereas the main part specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited). This does not affect substitution suitability for standard applications.

Q: Does the packaging format differ between these parts?

A: The main part is supplied in standard packaging, while the substitute part is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both maintain identical component specifications and lead configuration.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences?

A: No. Capacitance, tolerance, voltage ratings, dielectric material, and operating temperature range are identical between both parts.
