Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CD15ED680GO3 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that define functional equivalence:

• Capacitance: 68 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±2% (exact match required)
• Voltage - Rated: 500 V (exact match required)
• Dielectric Material: Mica (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.232" (5.90 mm) (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.449" L x 0.181" W (11.40 mm x 4.60 mm) (exact match required)

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Differences exist only in manufacturing series designation, RoHS compliance status, and REACH regulatory classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD15ED680GO3F - Select this substitute when ROHS3 compliance and REACH-unaffected status are required for your application. This variant maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications of the original part while providing enhanced regulatory compliance. Inventory availability is 887 pieces.

CM05ED680GO3 - This substitute from the CM05 series is functionally equivalent for electrical performance and mechanical fit. It carries RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected status identical to the original CD15ED680GO3 part. Inventory availability is 1070 pieces.

CD15ED680GO3 - The original part remains available with 1126 pieces in stock and is suitable when RoHS and REACH compliance requirements do not apply to your design or regulatory jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CD15ED680GO3F be used as a direct replacement for CD15ED680GO3?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, dielectric material, temperature range, mounting type, package configuration, and physical dimensions. The primary difference is ROHS3 compliance status in CD15ED680GO3F.

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

A: The CD15ED680GO3 and CM05ED680GO3 are functionally equivalent for electrical and mechanical specifications. The series designation reflects different manufacturing lines within Cornell Dubilier Electronics. The CM05 series is marked with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), while the CD15 variants indicate Not Applicable for MSL.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the same PCB layout and footprint?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical lead spacing of 0.232" (5.90 mm), physical dimensions of 0.449" L x 0.181" W (11.40 mm x 4.60 mm), and maximum seated height of 0.358" (9.10 mm). They are fully interchangeable from a mechanical and layout perspective.

Q: Which substitute should I select if ROHS3 compliance is mandatory?

A: Select CD15ED680GO3F, which carries ROHS3 compliant status. This part is the only variant in the substitute list with ROHS3 certification.

Q: Does the tolerance specification differ between the three parts?

A: No. All three parts maintain ±2% tolerance on the 68 pF capacitance value.
