CD15FC561FO3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD15FC561FO3 is a 560 pF mica capacitor rated at 300 V with ±1% tolerance, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This through-hole radial 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 976 units in stock.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when supply chain constraints occur, or when design requirements mandate compliance with specific regulatory standards such as RoHS3.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CD15FC561FO3 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications for:

• Capacitance value: 560 pF
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Voltage rating: 300 V
• Dielectric type: Mica
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole radial
• Lead spacing: 0.232" (5.90mm)
• Physical dimensions: 0.461" L x 0.209" W x 0.382" H (max)
• Temperature range: -55°C to 125°C

The CD15FC561FO3F qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it matches all electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction between these parts lies in regulatory compliance status, not functional performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD15FC561FO3 is suitable for applications where RoHS3 compliance is not a design requirement and REACH-affected materials are acceptable. This part number remains active in production.

CD15FC561FO3F is the appropriate selection for designs requiring RoHS3 compliance and REACH-unaffected material composition. This variant maintains identical electrical and mechanical performance while meeting enhanced regulatory standards. Higher inventory availability (1140 units) supports supply chain continuity.

Both part numbers are functionally interchangeable from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Selection between them depends solely on regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the end application and target market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CD15FC561FO3 and CD15FC561FO3F electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts deliver 560 pF capacitance at ±1% tolerance with 300 V rating, identical operating temperature range, and matching physical dimensions. Electrical performance is equivalent.

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

A: The primary difference is regulatory compliance. CD15FC561FO3F is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while CD15FC561FO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I substitute CD15FC561FO3F for CD15FC561FO3 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical lead spacing (0.232"), physical dimensions (0.461" L x 0.209" W), and maximum seated height (0.382"). PCB footprints and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: Specify CD15FC561FO3F for new designs unless legacy documentation or specific supply agreements mandate the original part number. The RoHS3-compliant variant supports broader market acceptance and regulatory alignment.

Q: Are there inventory or lead time differences?

A: CD15FC561FO3F currently has higher inventory (1140 units versus 976 units). Both are active production parts from Cornell Dubilier Electronics.

Q: Do these parts require different handling or storage procedures?

A: No. Both parts share identical moisture sensitivity classification (Not Applicable) and storage requirements as mica capacitors.
