Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of capacitors within this category is determined by matching the following critical parameters: capacitance value (2 pF), tolerance (±0.5pF), voltage rating (500 V), dielectric material (Mica), mounting type (Through Hole), and package configuration (Radial). The CD15CD020DO3 is grouped as a parametric equivalent to the CD15CD020DO3F, sharing identical electrical characteristics and mechanical dimensions, allowing direct substitution in applications where these specifications are required. Differences in compliance status and inventory availability distinguish the parts but do not affect their core functional interchangeability for circuits designed around these parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CD15CD020DO3F is the recommended primary selection for applications requiring compliance with ROHS3 and REACH regulations. This part carries Active product status and full regulatory compliance certifications suitable for modern manufacturing environments. The CD15CD020DO3 represents a functional equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical performance but carries RoHS non-compliance and REACH Affected status, making it suitable only for legacy applications or environments where such compliance restrictions do not apply. Selection between these parts depends on compliance requirements rather than functional performance, as both deliver the same capacitance, tolerance, voltage, and mechanical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can CD15CD020DO3 be used in place of CD15CD020DO3F?

The CD15CD020DO3 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the CD15CD020DO3F. Both deliver 2 pF capacitance at 500 V with ±0.5pF tolerance and identical through-hole radial packaging. Substitution is feasible from a functional standpoint but depends on your application's compliance requirements. If ROHS3 or REACH compliance is mandated, the CD15CD020DO3F must be used.

What are the critical parameters for substitution within this capacitor family?

Capacitance (2 pF), tolerance (±0.5pF), voltage rating (500 V), dielectric material (Mica), mounting type (Through Hole), and radial package configuration are the parameters that define substitution compatibility. Any deviation in these specifications requires circuit redesign evaluation.

Does the difference in RoHS status affect circuit performance?

No. RoHS compliance is a manufacturing and environmental regulation, not a functional specification. Both parts perform identically in circuit operation. The difference affects procurement eligibility and end-product regulatory status only.

Are the physical dimensions identical?

Yes. Both parts share identical lead spacing (0.232"/5.90mm), dimensions (0.449" L x 0.169" W), and maximum seated height (0.358"). Direct PCB footprint compatibility is confirmed.

What inventory considerations should guide part selection?

CD15CD020DO3 maintains higher inventory (1255 Pcs) compared to CD15CD020DO3F (642 Pcs). If compliance is not a constraint, the higher-stock equivalent may offer supply chain advantages.
