CD15ED360GO3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD15ED360GO3 is a 36 pF mica capacitor rated for 500 V operation in a radial through-hole configuration, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This component is classified as a general-purpose mica capacitor suitable for applications requiring high voltage stability and low dielectric loss. The part maintains active product status with 803 units currently in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance) and mechanical compatibility (package type, lead spacing, physical dimensions). Alternative part numbers may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CD15ED360GO3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Capacitance value: 36 pF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 500 V (minimum requirement)
• Tolerance: ±2% (acceptable range for precision applications)
• Dielectric material: Mica (required for performance characteristics)

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Mounting type: Through Hole (PCB assembly method)
• Package configuration: Radial (lead orientation and spacing)
• Lead spacing: 0.232" / 5.90 mm (PCB footprint compatibility)
• Physical dimensions: 0.449" L × 0.169" W / 11.40 mm × 4.30 mm (board layout fit)
• Height seated: 0.358" / 9.10 mm maximum (clearance requirements)

Environmental & Compliance Criteria:

• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (application environment)
• Series designation and manufacturer (Cornell Dubilier Electronics)

Substitute parts must satisfy all electrical and mechanical parameters listed above. Parts from the CM05 series manufactured by CDE meet these requirements while maintaining functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD15ED360GO3 (Primary Part): The CD15ED360GO3 maintains active product status with established supply availability (803 units in stock). This part is suitable for applications where the CD15 series designation is specified or preferred. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct functional equivalence.

CM05ED360GO3 (Substitute Part): The CM05ED360GO3 from the CM05 series provides complete electrical and mechanical equivalence to the CD15ED360GO3. This substitute part is available with higher inventory levels (899 units in stock), making it suitable for applications where supply continuity or bulk procurement is a consideration. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) on the CM05ED360GO3 indicates superior moisture handling characteristics compared to the CD15ED360GO3, which carries an MSL designation of Not Applicable.

Both parts are manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics and carry identical compliance certifications (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8532.29.0020). Selection between these parts should be based on series preference, inventory availability, or specific application requirements related to moisture exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CM05ED360GO3 be used as a direct replacement for the CD15ED360GO3?

A: Yes. The CM05ED360GO3 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent. Both parts have identical capacitance (36 pF), voltage rating (500 V), tolerance (±2%), dielectric material (Mica), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), mounting type (Through Hole), package configuration (Radial), lead spacing (0.232" / 5.90 mm), and physical dimensions. No circuit modifications or PCB layout changes are required.

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

A: The CD15 and CM05 are different product series from Cornell Dubilier Electronics. For the 36 pF, 500 V mica capacitor configuration, both series provide identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. The primary difference is the series designation and the MSL rating: CM05ED360GO3 carries an MSL of 1 (Unlimited), while CD15ED360GO3 carries an MSL of Not Applicable.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues with PCB footprints?

A: No. Both parts share identical lead spacing (0.232" / 5.90 mm), physical dimensions (0.449" L × 0.169" W / 11.40 × 4.30 mm), and maximum seated height (0.358" / 9.10 mm). They are footprint-compatible and can be used interchangeably on the same PCB design.

Q: What does the MSL rating difference mean?

A: The CM05ED360GO3 carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating it can be stored indefinitely without moisture absorption concerns. The CD15ED360GO3 carries an MSL designation of Not Applicable, which is typical for mica capacitors that are inherently resistant to moisture. This difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both the CD15ED360GO3 and CM05ED360GO3 are RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is required for your application, alternative parts must be sourced.

Q: What is the current inventory status?

A: The CD15ED360GO3 has 803 units in stock, and the CM05ED360GO3 has 899 units in stock. Both parts are available for immediate procurement.
