CD15FA102FO3F Mica Capacitor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD15FA102FO3F is a 1000 pF mica capacitor rated for 100 V with ±1% tolerance, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This through-hole radial component operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance values. The main part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory availability, compliance requirements, or supply chain considerations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the CD15FA102FO3F is based on electrical and mechanical equivalency. All substitute parts must maintain identical specifications for capacitance (1000 pF), tolerance (±1%), voltage rating (100 V), dielectric material (mica), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), mounting type (through hole), and package configuration (radial). Physical dimensions, lead spacing, and series designation must also match to ensure direct replacement without circuit board redesign or requalification.

The CD15FA102FO3 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on these criteria. Differences in RoHS compliance status and REACH classification do not affect functional substitutability but may impact regulatory compliance requirements for specific applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CD15FA102FO3F is the preferred selection when ROHS3 compliance is required. This part is active in production with confirmed availability (966 units in stock) and carries REACH unaffected status, making it suitable for applications subject to environmental regulations.

The CD15FA102FO3 serves as a functional equivalent for applications without RoHS compliance constraints. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with identical capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, and physical form factor. The part is active in production with 790 units available. Selection of this substitute should be based on regulatory requirements specific to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CD15FA102FO3F and CD15FA102FO3 electrically identical? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 1000 pF capacitance, ±1% tolerance, 100 V rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. The mica dielectric ensures stable performance across the temperature range.

Q: Can CD15FA102FO3 be used in place of CD15FA102FO3F? A: From a functional standpoint, yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent. The difference lies in compliance status: CD15FA102FO3F is ROHS3 compliant while CD15FA102FO3 is not. Application regulatory requirements determine suitability.

Q: Will either part fit existing circuit board layouts? A: Yes. Both parts have identical physical dimensions (0.480" L x 0.228" W), lead spacing (0.232"), and seated height (0.402" max). No board redesign is necessary for substitution.

Q: What does REACH Affected versus REACH Unaffected mean? A: REACH Affected indicates substances of concern may be present requiring regulatory documentation. REACH Unaffected indicates no restricted substances. Selection depends on supply chain and application compliance requirements.

Q: Is the CD15 series designation important for substitution? A: Yes. Both substitute parts share the CD15 series designation, confirming they are part of the same product family with consistent design specifications and performance characteristics.
