Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CD15FA152FO3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 1500 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 100 V (exact match required)
• Dielectric Material: Mica (exact match required)
• Mounting Configuration: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.232" (5.90mm) (exact match required)
• Physical Envelope: 0.500" L x 0.252" W, Height 0.429" max (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)

The identified substitute part CD15FA152FO3F maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence to the primary part number while differing in regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD15FA152FO3 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and REACH-affected material sourcing is permissible. Current inventory of 1011 units supports immediate availability for production requirements.

CD15FA152FO3F is the appropriate selection for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH-unaffected material sourcing. This variant maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence while satisfying enhanced regulatory requirements. Inventory of 842 units is available.

Selection between these two part numbers is determined solely by regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the end application. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the CD15 series mica capacitor line.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CD15FA152FO3 and CD15FA152FO3F electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical capacitance (1500 pF), tolerance (±1%), voltage rating (100 V), dielectric material (mica), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). They are direct electrical equivalents.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical physical dimensions (0.500" L x 0.252" W), height (0.429" max), lead spacing (0.232" / 5.90mm), and radial through-hole mounting configuration. They occupy the same footprint and require no PCB layout modifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is regulatory compliance status. CD15FA152FO3F is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while CD15FA152FO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on the regulatory requirements of the target application and end market. Applications requiring ROHS3 compliance or REACH-unaffected sourcing must use CD15FA152FO3F. Applications without these constraints may use either part number.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate identically across the full temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and maintain the same ±1% tolerance specification. Performance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the lead spacing for both parts?

A: Both CD15FA152FO3 and CD15FA152FO3F have a lead spacing of 0.232 inches (5.90 millimeters), consistent with standard radial through-hole mica capacitor spacing.
