CD15FD151FO3F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD15FD151FO3F is a 150 pF mica capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE), rated for 500 V operation in 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 for applications demanding low loss, excellent frequency stability, and reliable performance across extended temperature ranges. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, compliance requirements, or manufacturing discontinuation necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD15FD151FO3F (Primary Selection): This part is recommended for applications requiring full regulatory compliance. The CD15FD151FO3F carries ROHS3 Compliant certification and REACH Unaffected status, making it suitable for deployment in regulated markets and applications subject to environmental compliance mandates. Current inventory of 947 pieces supports immediate procurement for production schedules.

CD15FD151FO3 (Substitute Selection): The CD15FD151FO3 provides electrical and mechanical equivalence to the primary part. However, this substitute carries RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations. Selection of this substitute is permissible only in applications where regulatory compliance is not a requirement or where legacy system maintenance justifies non-compliant component use. Higher inventory availability (1027 pieces) may support extended production runs where compliance requirements do not apply.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical fit, and operational characteristics across the specified temperature range. Selection between these parts is determined exclusively by compliance requirements and regulatory environment of the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CD15FD151FO3 be used as a direct replacement for CD15FD151FO3F in all applications?

A: CD15FD151FO3 provides direct electrical and mechanical substitution. However, compliance status differs. Use CD15FD151FO3 only in applications where RoHS3 compliance and REACH compliance are not required. For regulated applications, CD15FD151FO3F is the required selection.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions: 0.461" L x 0.189" W (11.70 mm x 4.80 mm), maximum seated height of 0.370" (9.40 mm), and lead spacing of 0.232" (5.90 mm). PCB layout and mounting hole spacing require no modification when substituting between these parts.

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

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level is Not Applicable for both parts. Standard component storage practices apply. No special moisture-barrier packaging or dry-storage requirements are specified.

Q: What is the significance of the ±1% tolerance specification?

A: The ±1% tolerance indicates that actual capacitance values will fall within the range of 148.5 pF to 151.5 pF. This tight tolerance is characteristic of mica dielectric capacitors and is suitable for precision frequency-dependent circuits and high-stability applications.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-frequency applications?

A: Mica dielectric capacitors are specified for general-purpose applications. Frequency performance characteristics are not provided in the component parameters. Consult detailed frequency response data or application notes for frequency-dependent circuit requirements.

Q: What is the difference between ROHS3 Compliant and RoHS non-compliant designations?

A: ROHS3 Compliant indicates the part meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 3 requirements, restricting specified hazardous materials. RoHS non-compliant indicates the part does not meet these restrictions. Selection depends on regulatory requirements of the target market and application.
