CD15FD131GO3F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD15FD131GO3F is a 130 pF mica capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE), rated for 500 V operation in a radial through-hole configuration. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and high voltage performance. Mica dielectric capacitors are selected when applications demand low loss, excellent frequency stability, and reliable operation across extended temperature ranges from -55°C to 125°C. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, compliance requirements, or series discontinuation necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CD15FD131GO3F are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The substitution logic is governed by the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Capacitance value must be 130 pF
• Tolerance must be ±2% or tighter
• Voltage rating must be 500 V or higher
• Dielectric material must be Mica

Mechanical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Mounting type must be Through Hole
• Package configuration must be Radial
• Lead spacing must be 0.232" (5.90mm)
• Physical dimensions must accommodate existing PCB footprints

Environmental Parameters:

• Operating temperature range must cover -55°C to 125°C

The CM05FD131GO3 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it satisfies all electrical and mechanical requirements. Both parts share identical capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, dielectric material, mounting configuration, lead spacing, and temperature range. Differences in series designation (CD15 versus CM05), RoHS compliance status, and REACH classification do not affect functional interchangeability in applications where these regulatory attributes are not contractually mandated.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (CD15FD131GO3F): The CD15FD131GO3F is the preferred component when RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are contractual or regulatory requirements. This part maintains Active product status and is available in inventory (970 pcs). Selection of this part ensures full compliance with modern environmental and hazardous substance directives applicable to electronic equipment manufacturing and distribution.

Alternative Selection (CM05FD131GO3): The CM05FD131GO3 is functionally equivalent for applications where RoHS and REACH compliance are not specified requirements. This substitute provides identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. The CM05FD131GO3 is available in higher inventory quantity (1119 pcs) and may be selected when supply chain optimization or cost considerations are primary factors and regulatory compliance is not a constraint. Both parts are Active status products from the same manufacturer, ensuring consistent quality and performance characteristics.

Selection Criteria:

• If RoHS3 compliance is mandatory: select CD15FD131GO3F
• If REACH unaffected status is mandatory: select CD15FD131GO3F
• If compliance requirements are not specified: either part is electrically and mechanically interchangeable
• If inventory availability is the primary concern: CM05FD131GO3 offers higher stock quantity

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CM05FD131GO3 be used as a direct replacement for CD15FD131GO3F in existing designs?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Both parts have identical capacitance (130 pF), tolerance (±2%), voltage rating (500 V), dielectric material (Mica), mounting type (Through Hole), package configuration (Radial), lead spacing (0.232"), physical dimensions, and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The substitution is valid provided that RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are not design or contractual requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the CD15 and CM05 series designations?

A: The series designation indicates the product line within Cornell Dubilier Electronics' mica capacitor portfolio. CD15 and CM05 represent different manufacturing series, but for the 130 pF 500 V radial configuration, the electrical specifications and physical dimensions are identical. The series difference does not affect functional performance in the specified application.

Q: Are there any PCB layout considerations when substituting between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical lead spacing (0.232" or 5.90mm), physical dimensions (0.461" L x 0.181" W), and maximum seated height (0.370"). PCB footprints designed for either part are directly compatible with the other.

Q: Why does the RoHS status differ between these parts?

A: The CD15FD131GO3F is manufactured to ROHS3 compliance standards, restricting hazardous substances. The CM05FD131GO3 is RoHS non-compliant, indicating it may contain substances restricted under RoHS directives. This difference reflects manufacturing process or material sourcing variations between the two series. Selection depends on end-product regulatory requirements.

Q: What does "REACH Unaffected" versus "REACH Affected" mean?

A: REACH Unaffected indicates the component does not contain substances of very high concern (SVHC) listed under the REACH regulation. REACH Affected indicates the component may contain SVHC substances and requires compliance documentation. For applications subject to REACH regulations, the CD15FD131GO3F is the appropriate selection.

Q: Can I mix CD15FD131GO3F and CM05FD131GO3 parts in the same production batch?

A: Electrically and mechanically, yes. However, if the end product requires RoHS3 or REACH compliance certification, mixing parts with different compliance statuses may complicate documentation and certification processes. Consistent part selection within a production batch is recommended for regulatory traceability.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) for these capacitors?

A: The CD15FD131GO3F has MSL listed as Not Applicable, indicating mica capacitors do not require moisture-sensitive device handling procedures. The CM05FD131GO3 lists MSL as 1 (Unlimited), also indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Both parts can be stored and handled using standard component procedures.

Q: Are both parts still in active production?

A: Yes. Both CD15FD131GO3F and CM05FD131GO3 are listed as Active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturing and availability from Cornell Dubilier Electronics.
