Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CD15ED560FO3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Capacitance Value: 56 pF (exact match required)
  • Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
  • Voltage Rating: 500 V (exact match required)
  • Dielectric Material: Mica (exact match required)
  • Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
  • Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
  • Package Configuration: Radial (exact match required)
  • Lead Spacing: 0.232" (5.90mm) (exact match required)
  • Physical Dimensions: 0.449" L x 0.169" W, Height 0.358" max (exact match required)

The substitute part CD15ED560FO3F meets all electrical and mechanical parameters identically to the primary part. Differences exist only in RoHS compliance status and REACH classification, which may be relevant for specific regulatory or procurement requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD15ED560FO3F is a direct parametric equivalent to CD15ED560FO3 for all electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these two parts should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements:

  • CD15ED560FO3: Select when RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and REACH-affected materials are permitted in the application.
  • CD15ED560FO3F: Select when ROHS3 compliance is required or when REACH-unaffected status is mandated by design specifications or procurement standards.

Both parts are active products from the same manufacturer and series, ensuring consistent performance and availability. The choice between them does not affect circuit functionality, thermal performance, or electrical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CD15ED560FO3F be used as a direct replacement for CD15ED560FO3?

A: Yes. CD15ED560FO3F is electrically and mechanically identical to CD15ED560FO3. All capacitance, voltage, tolerance, temperature, and physical parameters are equivalent. The parts are interchangeable from a circuit design perspective.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are regulatory compliance classifications. CD15ED560FO3F is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while CD15ED560FO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical dimensions of 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). They are pin-compatible and occupy the same PCB footprint.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: Specify CD15ED560FO3F for new designs if your application or customer requirements mandate ROHS3 compliance or REACH-unaffected materials. Both parts are active and available; the choice depends on regulatory requirements rather than technical performance.

Q: Do these parts have the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C with identical performance characteristics across this range.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging as through-hole radial components with identical lead spacing and physical configuration.
