Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CD15FC561FO3F is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 560 pF
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Rated voltage: 300 V
• Dielectric material: Mica

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Package configuration: Radial
• Lead spacing: 0.232" (5.90 mm)
• Physical dimensions: 0.461" L × 0.209" W (11.70 mm × 5.30 mm)
• Maximum seated height: 0.382" (9.70 mm)

Operational Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Series classification: CD15

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes. Variations in regulatory compliance status (RoHS, REACH) do not affect electrical or mechanical substitutability but must be evaluated against application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD15FC561FO3F (Primary Selection): This part is the preferred choice for applications requiring full regulatory compliance. It carries ROHS3 certification and REACH Unaffected status, making it suitable for consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and applications subject to environmental regulations. Current inventory: 1,140 pieces.

CD15FC561FO3 (Alternative Selection): This substitute part is electrically and mechanically identical to the CD15FC561FO3F across all functional parameters. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications where RoHS3 and REACH compliance are not mandatory requirements. The part maintains active production status and is available with 976 pieces in current inventory. Use of this substitute requires confirmation that regulatory compliance exemptions apply to the end application.

Both parts are manufactured by the same supplier (CDE) within the same product series (CD15) and deliver identical electrical performance in circuit operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CD15FC561FO3 be used as a direct replacement for CD15FC561FO3F?

A: Yes. The CD15FC561FO3 is a parametric equivalent with identical capacitance (560 pF), tolerance (±1%), voltage rating (300 V), dielectric material (mica), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and mechanical configuration (radial through-hole with 0.232" lead spacing). Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically valid. Regulatory compliance differences must be evaluated against application requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The differences are regulatory: CD15FC561FO3F is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while CD15FC561FO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. These differences do not affect circuit performance or component functionality.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions: 0.461" L × 0.209" W (11.70 mm × 5.30 mm), maximum seated height of 0.382" (9.70 mm), and lead spacing of 0.232" (5.90 mm). PCB layout and mechanical fit are identical.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production?

A: Electrical and mechanical interchangeability is confirmed. Production use requires verification that regulatory compliance requirements for the end application are satisfied by the selected part number.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both CD15FC561FO3F and CD15FC561FO3 operate across -55°C to 125°C, providing identical thermal performance characteristics.

Q: Are both parts currently in production?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain active product status with current inventory availability (CD15FC561FO3F: 1,140 pieces; CD15FC561FO3: 976 pieces).
