Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: CD15ED560GO3F

The CD15ED560GO3F is the preferred component for new designs and applications subject to regulatory compliance requirements. This part carries ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH Unaffected status, meeting environmental and hazardous substance restrictions applicable to electronic equipment in regulated markets. The CD15 series designation indicates this part meets current manufacturing and compliance standards.

Alternative Selection: CM05ED560GO3

The CM05ED560GO3 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the CD15ED560GO3F and functions identically in circuit operation. This substitute part is suitable for applications where regulatory compliance certifications are not required or where legacy system maintenance necessitates component sourcing from existing inventory. The CM05 series represents an earlier product line. This part is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected, indicating it may contain restricted substances and is subject to regulatory limitations in certain jurisdictions.

Selection Criteria:

• Use CD15ED560GO3F for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance documentation
• Use CM05ED560GO3 for legacy system repairs, non-regulated applications, or where compliance certifications are not applicable
• Both parts are Active status and available in inventory
• Electrical performance and physical compatibility are identical between both options

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CM05ED560GO3 be used as a direct replacement for CD15ED560GO3F in all applications?

A: CM05ED560GO3 is electrically and mechanically equivalent and will function identically in circuit operation. However, regulatory compliance differs. CD15ED560GO3F carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, while CM05ED560GO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Selection depends on application regulatory requirements.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical physical dimensions: 0.449" L x 0.169" W (11.40 x 4.30 mm), maximum seated height of 0.358" (9.10 mm), and lead spacing of 0.232" (5.90 mm). Both are radial through-hole packages suitable for standard PCB mounting.

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

A: CD15 and CM05 are different product series from Cornell Dubilier Electronics. The CD15 series represents current-generation components with modern compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected). The CM05 series represents an earlier product line. Both series contain 56 pF mica capacitors rated for 500 V operation with identical electrical specifications.

Q: Will substituting CM05ED560GO3 for CD15ED560GO3F affect circuit performance?

A: No. Both parts have identical capacitance (56 pF), tolerance (±2%), voltage rating (500 V), dielectric material (Mica), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Circuit performance is functionally equivalent.

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

A: CD15ED560GO3F is the appropriate selection for new designs. This part carries current compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected) and Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Q: Are there any lead spacing or PCB layout differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical lead spacing of 0.232" (5.90 mm), allowing direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.
