CD15ED680GO3F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD15ED680GO3F is a 68 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 an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance certification. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and application continuity when the primary part number becomes unavailable or when alternative compliance certifications are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CD15ED680GO3F is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: capacitance value (68 pF), tolerance specification (±2%), rated voltage (500 V), dielectric material (mica), mounting type (through hole), package configuration (radial), lead spacing (0.232" / 5.90mm), and physical dimensions (0.449" L x 0.181" W / 11.40mm x 4.60mm). All identified substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within these parameters.

The substitute parts CD15ED680GO3 and CM05ED680GO3 are grouped as parametric equivalents because they satisfy all core electrical and mechanical requirements. Differences in RoHS compliance status, REACH classification, and moisture sensitivity level do not affect functional interchangeability in applications where the primary part number is unavailable. Selection between substitute parts should be based on compliance requirements specific to the end application and regulatory jurisdiction.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD15ED680GO3F (Primary Part): This part is the preferred selection for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The part maintains active production status with 887 units in current inventory.

CD15ED680GO3 (Substitute): This part is electrically and mechanically identical to the primary part but carries RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected designations. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications where RoHS3 compliance is not a regulatory requirement. The part is active in production with 1126 units in inventory.

CM05ED680GO3 (Substitute): This part is electrically and mechanically identical to the primary part and operates under the CM05 series designation. It carries RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected designations with MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications where RoHS3 compliance is not required and where moisture sensitivity is not a constraint. The part is active in production with 1070 units in inventory.

All three parts are suitable for direct substitution in through-hole PCB applications where the specified electrical parameters and physical dimensions are required. Selection between parts should be driven by compliance certifications mandated by the end application's regulatory environment and supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. CD15ED680GO3 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to CD15ED680GO3F. Both parts share identical capacitance (68 pF), tolerance (±2%), voltage rating (500 V), dielectric material (mica), mounting type (through hole), package configuration (radial), lead spacing (0.232" / 5.90mm), and physical dimensions. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. CD15ED680GO3 is RoHS non-compliant, while CD15ED680GO3F is ROHS3 compliant. Selection depends on compliance requirements for the target application.

Q: Can CM05ED680GO3 be used as a direct replacement for CD15ED680GO3F?

A: Yes. CM05ED680GO3 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to CD15ED680GO3F. Both parts share identical capacitance (68 pF), tolerance (±2%), voltage rating (500 V), dielectric material (mica), mounting type (through hole), package configuration (radial), lead spacing (0.232" / 5.90mm), and physical dimensions. The primary differences are series designation (CM05 versus CD15), RoHS compliance status, and moisture sensitivity level. Selection depends on compliance requirements and supply chain availability.

Q: Are there any physical differences between these three parts?

A: No. All three parts share identical physical dimensions: 0.449" L x 0.181" W (11.40mm x 4.60mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.358" (9.10mm). Lead spacing is identical at 0.232" (5.90mm). All parts are radial through-hole components suitable for standard PCB mounting.

Q: What is the difference between ROHS3 compliant and RoHS non-compliant designations?

A: ROHS3 compliant indicates the part meets the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 3 requirements, which restrict the use of specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. RoHS non-compliant indicates the part does not meet these restrictions. Selection depends on regulatory requirements in the target market and application jurisdiction.

Q: What does REACH Unaffected versus REACH Affected mean?

A: REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) is a European Union regulation. REACH Unaffected indicates the part is not subject to REACH restrictions. REACH Affected indicates the part is subject to REACH regulations. Selection depends on whether the application is subject to EU regulatory requirements.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL)?

A: MSL indicates the sensitivity of a component to moisture during storage and handling. MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture control during storage. Not Applicable indicates moisture sensitivity is not a relevant specification for the component type. All three parts are suitable for standard storage conditions.

Q: Are all three parts currently in stock?

A: Yes. CD15ED680GO3F has 887 units in inventory, CD15ED680GO3 has 1126 units in inventory, and CM05ED680GO3 has 1070 units in inventory. All parts are listed as active in production status.
