CD15CD060DO3F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD15CD060DO3F is a 6 pF mica capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE), rated for 500 V operation in radial through-hole configuration. This component is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Mica capacitors in this specification are used in general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance values and high voltage tolerance across extended temperature ranges. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, supply chain discontinuities, or specific compliance requirements for end-use applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CD15CD060DO3F is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 6 pF (exact match required)
• Capacitance Tolerance: ±0.5 pF (exact match required)
• Rated Voltage: 500 V (minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable)
• Dielectric Material: Mica (material class must match)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (form factor requirement)
• Package Configuration: Radial (mechanical compatibility requirement)
• Lead Spacing: 0.232" / 5.90 mm (PCB layout compatibility)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.449" L x 0.169" W / 11.40mm x 4.30mm (board space constraint)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (environmental specification)

The CM05CD060DO3 meets all parametric equivalence criteria and is classified as a direct substitute. Differences in RoHS compliance status and REACH applicability do not affect electrical or mechanical substitutability but must be evaluated against end-product regulatory requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD15CD060DO3F is the preferred selection for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. This part carries Active product status with full regulatory alignment for consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial applications subject to EU environmental directives.

CM05CD060DO3 serves as a functional equivalent for applications where RoHS and REACH compliance are not mandatory requirements. This substitute maintains identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. The part is classified as Active product status. Selection of this substitute requires explicit confirmation that end-product regulatory requirements do not mandate RoHS3 or REACH compliance.

Both parts are manufactured by the same supplier (Cornell Dubilier Electronics) and share identical core specifications: 6 pF capacitance, ±0.5 pF tolerance, 500 V rating, mica dielectric, through-hole radial mounting, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. Substitution between these parts is electrically and mechanically transparent at the component level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CM05CD060DO3 be used as a direct replacement for CD15CD060DO3F in all applications?

A: CM05CD060DO3 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. However, substitution depends on regulatory requirements. If the end product requires RoHS3 compliance or REACH unaffected status, CD15CD060DO3F must be used. For applications without these requirements, CM05CD060DO3 is functionally interchangeable.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions: 0.449" L x 0.169" W (11.40mm x 4.30mm), maximum seated height of 0.358" (9.10mm), and lead spacing of 0.232" (5.90mm). PCB layout and mechanical fit are identical.

Q: What is the difference in Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) between these parts?

A: CD15CD060DO3F lists MSL as Not Applicable, while CM05CD060DO3 is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited). This difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. MSL classification is relevant only for storage and handling protocols in high-humidity environments.

Q: Do both parts operate across the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both CD15CD060DO3F and CM05CD060DO3 operate from -55°C to 125°C. Temperature performance is identical.

Q: What is the significance of the different RoHS and REACH designations?

A: CD15CD060DO3F is RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current EU environmental regulations. CM05CD060DO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. These designations affect product eligibility for specific markets and applications but do not alter electrical or mechanical function. Selection must align with end-product regulatory requirements.

Q: Are both parts currently in active production?

A: Yes. Both CD15CD060DO3F and CM05CD060DO3 carry Active product status, indicating current manufacturing and availability through authorized distributors.
