CD15CD150JO3F Mica Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD15CD150JO3F is a 15 pF mica capacitor rated for 500 V operation, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This radial through-hole component is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and high voltage performance across extended temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C). The part is currently active in production with RoHS3 compliance certification.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when component availability is limited, supply chain disruptions occur, or design flexibility permits selection from alternative product lines within the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CD15CD150JO3F is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Capacitance value: 15 pF
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Voltage rating: 500 V
• Dielectric material: Mica

Mechanical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Package configuration: Radial
• Lead spacing: 0.232" (5.90 mm)
• Physical dimensions: 0.449" L × 0.169" W
• Maximum seated height: 0.358" (9.10 mm)

Thermal Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Compliance certifications and regulatory status are secondary selection factors and do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (CD15CD150JO3F): The CD15CD150JO3F is the recommended choice for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. This part maintains full regulatory alignment for restricted substance directives and is suitable for deployment in regulated industries and export-controlled markets.

Secondary Selection (CD15CD150JO3): The CD15CD150JO3 is electrically and mechanically identical to the main part but carries RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected designations. This substitute is suitable for applications where regulatory compliance is not a requirement or where legacy system maintenance permits non-compliant components. Higher inventory availability (1199 units) may support expedited procurement timelines.

Tertiary Selection (CM05CD150JO3): The CM05CD150JO3 represents an alternative series designation (CM05 versus CD15) while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications. This part is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling. This substitute is applicable in non-regulated applications where component series flexibility is permitted by design specifications.

All three parts are active products from the same manufacturer and provide direct functional equivalence for 15 pF, 500 V mica capacitor applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CD15CD150JO3 be used as a direct replacement for CD15CD150JO3F?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all critical parameters: 15 pF capacitance, ±5% tolerance, 500 V rating, mica dielectric, through-hole radial mounting, 0.232" lead spacing, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. The primary difference is regulatory compliance status. CD15CD150JO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected, while CD15CD150JO3F is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection depends on application regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference between CD15CD150JO3 and CM05CD150JO3?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical capacitance, voltage, tolerance, temperature range, and physical dimensions. The difference is series designation (CD15 versus CM05) and moisture sensitivity level classification. CM05CD150JO3 carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. Both are RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Series selection is determined by design specification flexibility and inventory availability.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for PCB assembly?

A: Yes. All three parts are through-hole radial components with identical lead spacing (0.232" / 5.90 mm) and physical dimensions (0.449" L × 0.169" W, 0.358" max height). They are compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts and assembly processes. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: CD15CD150JO3F is the only part with RoHS3 compliance certification. Both CD15CD150JO3 and CM05CD150JO3 are RoHS non-compliant and are not suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance. If RoHS compliance is mandatory, CD15CD150JO3F must be specified.

Q: Does operating temperature range differ between the three parts?

A: No. All three parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Temperature performance is equivalent across all substitutes.

Q: What is the significance of REACH status differences?

A: CD15CD150JO3F is REACH Unaffected, indicating the component is not subject to REACH regulatory restrictions. CD15CD150JO3 and CM05CD150JO3 are REACH Affected, meaning they are subject to REACH substance restrictions and may require additional documentation for certain markets or applications. Selection depends on end-use market and regulatory jurisdiction requirements.
