CD15FA911JO3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD15FA911JO3 is a 910 pF mica capacitor rated at 100 V with radial through-hole mounting, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This component is classified as active and suitable for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and low dielectric loss characteristics inherent to mica dielectric materials.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when supply chain constraints require alternative sourcing, or when design revisions necessitate components with improved compliance certifications while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CD15FA911JO3 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across all electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Capacitance value: 910 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (substitute tolerance must be equal or tighter)
• Voltage rating: 100 V (substitute must equal or exceed this value)
• Dielectric material: Mica (no alternative materials acceptable)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (substitute must support full range)

Mechanical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Mounting type: Through Hole (radial configuration)
• Lead spacing: 0.232" (5.90 mm)
• Package dimensions: 0.469" L x 0.220" W (11.90 mm x 5.60 mm)
• Maximum seated height: 0.402" (10.20 mm)

Compliance and Certification Parameters:

• RoHS status and REACH compliance may differ between main part and substitutes
• ECCN and HTSUS classifications remain consistent across equivalent parts

Only parts meeting all electrical and mechanical criteria are classified as parametric equivalents. Compliance certifications are secondary considerations that do not affect functional interchangeability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD15FA911JO3F as Primary Substitute:

The CD15FA911JO3F is a direct parametric equivalent to the CD15FA911JO3. All electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and performance characteristics are identical. Both components are manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics within the CD15 series and maintain active product status.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance:

• CD15FA911JO3F achieves ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, making it suitable for applications subject to European Union environmental regulations and RoHS directives.
• CD15FA911JO3 maintains RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status, appropriate for applications without such regulatory requirements.

Selection between these parts should be based on the regulatory environment of the end application and supply chain requirements. From a functional and mechanical standpoint, either part provides identical performance in the circuit.

Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.29.0020) classifications, indicating consistent export control and tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CD15FA911JO3F be used as a direct replacement for CD15FA911JO3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CD15FA911JO3F is a parametric equivalent with identical capacitance (910 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (100 V), dielectric material (mica), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and all mechanical specifications including lead spacing (0.232" / 5.90 mm), package dimensions, and mounting type. No circuit redesign or PCB modification is required.

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

A: The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The difference lies in regulatory compliance certifications. CD15FA911JO3F is ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, while CD15FA911JO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Selection depends on regulatory requirements for the end application.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues with PCB assembly?

A: No. Both parts are through-hole radial capacitors with identical lead spacing (0.232" / 5.90 mm), physical dimensions (0.469" L x 0.220" W), and maximum seated height (0.402" / 10.20 mm). They are compatible with identical PCB footprints and assembly processes.

Q: Can these parts be substituted with surface-mount alternatives?

A: No. Both CD15FA911JO3 and CD15FA911JO3F are through-hole radial components. Surface-mount alternatives would require different PCB footprints and assembly processes. Through-hole mounting type is a non-negotiable specification for these parts.

Q: What happens if I use a capacitor with different lead spacing?

A: Different lead spacing would require PCB redesign and new hole patterns. The specified lead spacing of 0.232" (5.90 mm) is a critical mechanical parameter that must match the PCB design. Substitutes must maintain this exact spacing.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: Yes. Current inventory levels differ: CD15FA911JO3 has 890 pieces in stock, while CD15FA911JO3F has 994 pieces in stock. Availability may influence selection timing, but both parts are available as new original components.

Q: Do these capacitors require any special handling or storage conditions?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is Not Applicable for both parts, indicating standard handling and storage conditions are acceptable. No special moisture-control measures are required during component storage or assembly.

Q: Can I mix CD15FA911JO3 and CD15FA911JO3F in the same production batch?

A: Yes, from a functional and mechanical standpoint. However, regulatory compliance documentation and traceability records should reflect the specific part numbers used, as RoHS and REACH status differ between the two parts.
