CD15CD060DO3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD15CD060DO3 is a 6 pF mica capacitor rated for 500 V operation in a radial through-hole package manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). 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 essential in RF circuits, precision timing networks, and high-reliability applications where temperature stability and low loss are critical. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory availability, compliance requirements, or specific application constraints.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CD15CD060DO3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Equivalence Criteria:

• Capacitance value: 6 pF
• Tolerance: ±0.5 pF
• Voltage rating: 500 V
• Dielectric material: Mica
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Package type: Radial
• Lead spacing: 0.232" (5.90 mm)
• Physical dimensions: 0.449" L x 0.169" W (11.40 mm x 4.30 mm)
• Height seated (max): 0.358" (9.10 mm)

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Differences in compliance status (RoHS, REACH) and series designation do not affect functional interchangeability for applications where the main part specifications are required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD15CD060DO3F is the preferred substitute when RoHS3 compliance is required. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved regulatory compliance status. REACH Unaffected status provides additional advantage for applications subject to chemical substance restrictions.

CM05CD060DO3 serves as a functional equivalent when CD15 series availability is constrained. Despite different series designation (CM05 versus CD15), this part meets all electrical and mechanical requirements. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling.

Selection between substitute parts should be based on:

• Regulatory compliance requirements (RoHS3, REACH)
• Supply chain availability
• Application-specific environmental or storage conditions
• Existing inventory management protocols

All three parts are Active status and suitable for direct substitution in applications where the CD15CD060DO3 specifications are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CD15CD060DO3F replace CD15CD060DO3 in all applications?

A: Yes. CD15CD060DO3F maintains identical capacitance (6 pF), tolerance (±0.5 pF), voltage rating (500 V), dielectric material (Mica), temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and physical dimensions. The primary difference is improved RoHS3 compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between CD15 and CM05 series designations?

A: Series designation reflects manufacturer product line classification. Both CD15CD060DO3 and CM05CD060DO3 are Cornell Dubilier Electronics mica capacitors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this 6 pF, 500 V rating.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical dimensions: 0.449" L x 0.169" W (11.40 mm x 4.30 mm), height seated maximum 0.358" (9.10 mm), and lead spacing 0.232" (5.90 mm). Direct board-level substitution is supported without layout modification.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: CD15CD060DO3F is recommended for new designs due to ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring alignment with current regulatory requirements and long-term supply chain stability.

Q: Is moisture sensitivity a consideration for these parts?

A: CD15CD060DO3 and CD15CD060DO3F have MSL Not Applicable, indicating no moisture sensitivity. CM05CD060DO3 has MSL 1 (Unlimited), also indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. All three parts are suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Identical lead spacing (0.232" / 5.90 mm), package type (Radial), and mounting method (Through Hole) ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability without PCB modification or rework.
