23FD3307-F Film Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 23FD3307-F is a 7 µF film capacitor rated for 330V AC operation, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) in the MPF series. This component is designed for motor run and power factor correction (PFC) applications with a polypropylene metallized dielectric and radial can package configuration. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for system maintenance and component procurement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 23FD3307-F are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the allowed specifications for this product category. The substitution logic is organized into two categories:

Direct Manufacturer Substitute (23FD3307A-F): This part maintains identical electrical specifications (7 µF, ±10%, 330V AC) and mechanical compatibility (radial can package, 0.813" lead spacing, quick connect termination). The primary difference is the seated height (2.630" versus 2.880"), which remains within acceptable mechanical envelope tolerances for chassis-mounted applications. This part is currently in active production status.

Parametric Equivalent (23FD3307): This part matches all electrical parameters and core mechanical specifications. It shares the same capacitance, voltage rating, dielectric material, lead spacing, and termination type. The seated height matches the original part (2.880"). This part is in active production but carries RoHS non-compliance status, distinguishing it from the main part's ROHS3 compliance.

Substitution eligibility is determined by:

• Identical capacitance value (7 µF)
• Identical tolerance (±10%)
• Identical AC voltage rating (330V)
• Identical dielectric material (Polypropylene, Metallized)
• Compatible package type (Radial, Can)
• Compatible lead spacing (0.813")
• Compatible termination (Quick Connect, Disconnect)
• Compatible mounting type (Chassis Mount)
• Operating temperature range coverage (-40°C to 70°C)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring ROHS3 compliance: The 23FD3307A-F is the primary substitute. This part is in active production, carries ROHS3 compliance certification, and maintains all critical electrical parameters. The reduced seated height (2.630" versus 2.880") provides a mechanical advantage in space-constrained chassis installations while remaining compatible with standard holder/bracket configurations.

For applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement: The 23FD3307 serves as a parametric equivalent. This part is in active production and matches the original seated height specification (2.880"). The RoHS non-compliance status must be evaluated against system-level regulatory requirements before selection.

For legacy system maintenance: When the original 23FD3307-F is unavailable, the 23FD3307A-F is the recommended direct replacement due to its active production status and ROHS3 compliance alignment with modern manufacturing standards.

All three parts share identical electrical performance characteristics for motor run and power factor correction applications. Selection between 23FD3307A-F and 23FD3307 should be based on regulatory compliance requirements and available inventory status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 23FD3307A-F be used as a direct replacement for 23FD3307-F?

A: Yes. The 23FD3307A-F maintains identical electrical specifications (7 µF, ±10%, 330V AC) and mechanical compatibility (radial can package, 0.813" lead spacing, quick connect termination). The seated height difference (2.630" versus 2.880") does not prevent installation in standard chassis-mounted holder/bracket configurations.

Q: What is the difference between 23FD3307A-F and 23FD3307?

A: Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications. The primary differences are: (1) 23FD3307A-F carries ROHS3 compliance; 23FD3307 is RoHS non-compliant; (2) 23FD3307A-F has a seated height of 2.630"; 23FD3307 has a seated height of 2.880"; (3) 23FD3307A-F is packaged in Bulk; 23FD3307 packaging is unspecified.

Q: Are these parts suitable for motor run applications?

A: Yes. All three parts are rated for motor run applications and power factor correction (PFC) with a 330V AC rating and polypropylene metallized dielectric.

Q: What is the lead spacing for these capacitors?

A: All three parts have a lead spacing of 0.813" (20.64mm), ensuring compatibility with standard chassis-mounted holder/bracket installations.

Q: Do these parts require any special mounting considerations?

A: Yes. All three parts are classified as Chassis Mount and require a holder/bracket for installation. The quick connect/disconnect termination allows for tool-free connection and disconnection.

Q: What is the operating temperature range?

A: All three parts operate across a temperature range of -40°C to 70°C, suitable for industrial motor and power factor correction applications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The 23FD3307-F and 23FD3307A-F are ROHS3 compliant. The 23FD3307 is RoHS non-compliant. All three parts are REACH unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.
