Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BFC246961103 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Capacitance value must match exactly at 1000 pF with tolerance of ±10%. Voltage ratings must meet or exceed both the 630V DC and 250V AC specifications. Dielectric material must remain polyester metallized to maintain electrical performance characteristics. Mounting configuration must be through-hole radial with PC pin termination and 10.00mm lead spacing to ensure PCB compatibility without layout modification. Operating temperature range must span -55°C to 105°C minimum. RoHS3 compliance is required for regulatory alignment.

The substitute part BFC246757103 satisfies all these criteria while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BFC246757103 is the direct manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete BFC246961103. Both components are manufactured by Vishay and share identical electrical specifications, dielectric composition, and mechanical mounting characteristics. The substitute maintains full ROHS3 compliance and operates across the same temperature range.

The primary distinction is product status: BFC246757103 is active production with confirmed inventory availability, whereas BFC246961103 is obsolete. The substitute belongs to the MKT467 series versus the MKT469 series of the original part, representing a generational update within the same product family.

Physical height differs by 0.118" (3.00mm), with the substitute being taller. This dimension must be verified against PCB clearance requirements and enclosure constraints before implementation. All other physical dimensions and lead spacing remain identical, ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC246757103 be used as a direct replacement for BFC246961103 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes, provided PCB clearance accommodates the increased seated height of 0.555" (14.10mm) versus 0.437" (11.10mm). Lead spacing, termination type, and footprint dimensions are identical. Electrical performance is equivalent across all specified parameters.

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

A: No. Both components provide identical capacitance (1000 pF), tolerance (±10%), voltage ratings (630V DC / 250V AC), dielectric material (polyester metallized), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C).

Q: Why is the substitute part taller?

A: The height difference reflects design evolution between the MKT469 and MKT467 series. This is a mechanical variation only and does not affect electrical function. Physical clearance must be confirmed for your specific application.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both BFC246961103 and BFC246757103 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What is the availability status of each part?

A: BFC246961103 is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (898 pcs). BFC246757103 is active production with current inventory (983 pcs) and ongoing manufacturing support.
