Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CD15FD151GO3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 150 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±2% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 500 V (exact match required)
• Dielectric material: Mica (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package configuration: Radial (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.232" / 5.90 mm (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.461" L x 0.189" W / 11.70 mm x 4.80 mm (exact match required)
• Maximum seated height: 0.370" / 9.40 mm (exact match required)

Environmental Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)

The substitute part CM05FD151GO3 meets all critical electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters, differing only in series designation (CM05 versus CD15) and internal moisture sensitivity classification, which does not affect functional equivalence in this application category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CD15FD151GO3 and CM05FD151GO3 are Active products manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics and carry identical regulatory classifications (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8532.29.0020).

Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability: The CM05FD151GO3 currently maintains higher inventory (927 units) compared to the CD15FD151GO3 (749 units), making it suitable for applications requiring immediate large-quantity procurement.

Compliance Requirements: Both parts share identical compliance status. Applications subject to RoHS or REACH restrictions require evaluation against specific regulatory requirements, as both parts are classified as non-compliant and REACH-affected respectively.

Series Continuity: The CD15FD151GO3 maintains series continuity with existing CD15 component families. The CM05FD151GO3 belongs to the CM05 series. Selection should align with existing design documentation and supply chain specifications.

Functional Equivalence: All electrical performance parameters, mechanical dimensions, and environmental operating ranges are identical, ensuring direct functional substitution without circuit redesign or board layout modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CM05FD151GO3 be used as a direct replacement for CD15FD151GO3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters: 150 pF capacitance, ±2% tolerance, 500 V rating, mica dielectric, -55°C to 125°C operating range, radial through-hole mounting, and identical physical dimensions. No circuit modification or PCB layout change is required.

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

A: The series designation reflects internal product line classification within Cornell Dubilier Electronics. Both series employ identical mica dielectric technology and meet the same electrical specifications for this 150 pF / 500 V application. The series difference does not affect functional performance or compatibility.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions: 0.461" length x 0.189" width (11.70 mm x 4.80 mm), lead spacing of 0.232" (5.90 mm), and maximum seated height of 0.370" (9.40 mm). PCB footprints and mounting hole spacing are identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both CD15FD151GO3 and CM05FD151GO3 carry identical regulatory status: RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS code 8532.29.0020. Applications requiring specific compliance certifications must evaluate both parts against identical regulatory criteria.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection should be based on supply chain strategy and inventory availability. Both parts are Active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The CM05FD151GO3 currently maintains higher inventory levels (927 units versus 749 units), making it suitable for applications requiring immediate availability or large-quantity orders.

Q: Is there any difference in operating temperature range between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, ensuring equivalent thermal performance in all specified applications.
