BFC280832409 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BFC280832409 is a 5.5–40pF trimmer capacitor rated for 150V operation with top and bottom adjustment capability. This through-hole component uses polypropylene dielectric material and is designed for general-purpose tuning and calibration applications. The part is currently active in production and RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when component availability is limited or when design flexibility permits selection from equivalent alternatives within the same electrical and mechanical parameter set.

• Identical adjustment type: Top and Bottom
• Identical dielectric material: Polypropylene (PP)
• Identical mounting type: Through Hole
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.394" Dia (10.00 mm)
• Identical height: 0.433" (11.00 mm)
• Identical operating temperature range: –40°C to +70°C
• Identical series classification: BFC2 808
• Identical compliance status: RoHS3 Compliant
• Identical moisture sensitivity level: MSL 1

Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components and maintain active product status. Substitution is valid when these electrical and mechanical parameters satisfy circuit requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BFC280832409 and BFC280831409 are active production components with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts is determined by availability and inventory status rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences. The BFC280831409 carries higher inventory availability (3037 pcs vs. 918 pcs), making it suitable for high-volume procurement scenarios. Both parts satisfy identical circuit requirements and PCB layout constraints due to matching dimensions and electrical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BFC280831409 be used as a direct replacement for BFC280832409?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical parameters (5.5–40 pF capacitance, 150 V rating, top and bottom adjustment), dielectric material (polypropylene), physical dimensions (10.00 mm diameter, 11.00 mm height), and operating temperature range (–40°C to +70°C). No circuit redesign or PCB layout modification is required.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance status and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating. Regulatory and environmental requirements are satisfied equally by either part.

Q: What is the primary reason to select one part over the other?

A: Inventory availability is the determining factor. The BFC280831409 maintains higher stock levels, making it preferable for immediate or large-quantity orders. The BFC280832409 remains available for applications where specific part number traceability is required.

Q: Do these parts require different PCB footprints or mounting procedures?

A: No. Identical through-hole mounting type, lead spacing, and physical dimensions ensure both parts use the same PCB footprint and assembly process.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage derating considerations when substituting?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (–40°C to +70°C) and carry the same 150 V voltage rating. Derating curves and thermal performance are equivalent.
