Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of film capacitors is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must match the original specification
• Voltage Rating (DC): Must equal or exceed the original rating
• Voltage Rating (AC): Must equal or exceed the original rating
• Dielectric Material: Must be compatible with the application
• Mounting Type: Must be compatible with PCB layout (Through Hole vs. Surface Mount)
• Package/Case Style: Must fit the physical footprint or be mechanically compatible
• Termination Type: Must match the connection method (Radial, Axial, PC Pins, etc.)
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support the application environment
• Compliance Standards: Must meet required certifications (RoHS, AEC-Q200, REACH)

The substitute part BFC237076474 is qualified as an equivalent based on these parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is BFC537076474 listed as obsolete?

A: BFC537076474 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components no longer manufactures this component. The substitute BFC237076474 is the active equivalent in the product line.

Q: Can BFC237076474 be used as a direct replacement for BFC537076474?

A: Yes. BFC237076474 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both components share the same manufacturer, radial termination style, and through-hole mounting configuration. The substitute is actively produced and meets current compliance standards.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: For film capacitors, the critical parameters are: capacitance value (0.47 µF), voltage ratings (63V DC / 40V AC), dielectric material (Polyester, Metallized), tolerance (±5%), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 100°C).

Q: Does BFC237076474 meet automotive standards?

A: Yes. BFC237076474 carries AEC-Q200 qualification, suitable for automotive applications. It is also ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences between the two parts?

A: BFC237076474 specifications indicate dimensions of 0.283" L x 0.138" W (7.20mm x 3.50mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.315" (8.00mm) and lead spacing of 0.200" (5.08mm). These dimensions are standard for radial film capacitors in this capacitance and voltage class.

Q: What is the lead spacing for BFC237076474?

A: The substitute BFC237076474 has a lead spacing of 0.200" (5.08mm), which is the standard pitch for radial through-hole film capacitors in this category.

Q: Is BFC237076474 available in tape and box packaging?

A: Yes. BFC237076474 is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) packaging, suitable for both manual and automated assembly processes.
