CD10FC271GO3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD10FC271GO3 is a 270 pF mica capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE), rated for 300 V operation in radial through-hole configuration. This component is classified as Active product status and is suitable for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and high voltage performance. Mica dielectric capacitors are selected for applications demanding low loss, excellent frequency stability, and reliable performance across extended temperature ranges. Substitute parts become necessary when primary inventory is unavailable, when alternative series options provide equivalent electrical performance, or when procurement lead times require alternative sourcing from the same manufacturer.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CD10FC271GO3 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part CM04FC271GO3 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameter Equivalence:

• Capacitance value: 270 pF (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±2% (exact match)
• Voltage rating: 300 V (exact match)
• Dielectric material: Mica (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match)

Mechanical Parameter Equivalence:

• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match)
• Package configuration: Radial (exact match)
• Lead spacing: 0.142" (3.60mm) (exact match)
• Physical dimensions: 0.390" L x 0.220" W (9.90mm x 5.60mm) (exact match)
• Maximum seated height: 0.382" (9.70mm) (exact match)

Series Differentiation: The CD10FC271GO3 belongs to the CD10 series, while CM04FC271GO3 belongs to the CM04 series. Both are manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics. The series designation reflects different product lines within the manufacturer's mica capacitor portfolio, but electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical for these specific part numbers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (CD10FC271GO3): The CD10FC271GO3 remains the primary component choice when available. This part maintains Active product status with established inventory levels of 1059 units. Both the main part and substitute are classified as RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected, indicating identical regulatory compliance profiles for applications where these designations are acceptable.

Substitute Selection (CM04FC271GO3): The CM04FC271GO3 qualifies as a direct substitute when CD10FC271GO3 availability is constrained. All critical electrical parameters—capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, and dielectric material—are identical. All mechanical parameters including mounting type, package configuration, lead spacing, and physical dimensions are identical, ensuring direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Both parts share identical regulatory classifications (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8532.29.0020) and identical operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C). The MSL designation difference (Not Applicable for CD10 series versus 1 (Unlimited) for CM04 series) reflects series-level documentation practices and does not affect component performance or storage requirements for mica dielectric capacitors.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, procurement lead time, and inventory requirements. Both parts are manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics and maintain Active product status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CM04FC271GO3 be used as a direct replacement for CD10FC271GO3 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. The CM04FC271GO3 is mechanically and electrically identical to the CD10FC271GO3. Lead spacing (0.142" / 3.60mm), physical dimensions (0.390" L x 0.220" W), and maximum seated height (0.382") are identical. No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: Are the electrical characteristics identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical capacitance (270 pF), tolerance (±2%), voltage rating (300 V), dielectric material (Mica), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). They are electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the CD10 and CM04 series?

A: The CD10 and CM04 designations indicate different product series within Cornell Dubilier Electronics' mica capacitor portfolio. For the 270 pF, 300 V, ±2% specification, both series produce components with identical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Q: Does the MSL difference between the parts affect substitution?

A: No. The MSL designation difference (Not Applicable versus 1 (Unlimited)) reflects series-level documentation conventions for mica dielectric capacitors. Mica capacitors are inherently stable and do not require moisture-sensitive device handling procedures. This difference does not affect component performance or storage.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both CD10FC271GO3 and CM04FC271GO3 are classified as RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is required for your application, neither part is suitable. Both parts are REACH Affected.

Q: What is the current inventory status for each part?

A: CD10FC271GO3 has 1059 units in stock. CM04FC271GO3 has 837 units in stock. Both are listed as New Original In Stock.

Q: Can these parts be used in high-frequency applications?

A: Mica capacitors are suitable for general-purpose applications as specified. Specific frequency performance characteristics are not provided in the component parameters. Application-specific frequency requirements should be evaluated against detailed manufacturer datasheets.

Q: Are there any temperature derating considerations?

A: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. No derating information is provided in the specified parameters. Detailed derating curves should be obtained from Cornell Dubilier Electronics technical documentation if required for specific applications.
