CD15FD151GO3F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD15FD151GO3F is a 150 pF mica capacitor rated for 500 V operation in a radial through-hole configuration, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This component is classified as Active product status and is suitable 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 operation across extended temperature ranges from -55°C to 125°C. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, compliance requirements, or specific application constraints while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CD15FD151GO3F are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Capacitance value: 150 pF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 500 V (minimum requirement)
• Tolerance: ±2% (circuit accuracy requirement)
• Dielectric material: Mica (performance characteristic)

Mechanical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Mounting type: Through Hole (PCB assembly method)
• Package configuration: Radial (lead orientation)
• Lead spacing: 0.232" (5.90mm) (PCB hole pattern compatibility)
• Physical dimensions: 0.461" L x 0.189" W (board space constraint)
• Height seated maximum: 0.370" (9.40mm) (clearance requirement)

Operational Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (environmental specification)

Substitute parts must satisfy all electrical and mechanical parameters listed above. Variations in compliance certifications (RoHS, REACH) or moisture sensitivity levels do not disqualify a part from substitution eligibility but may require design review based on application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CM05FD151GO3 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the CD15FD151GO3F. Both components satisfy all critical parameters: identical capacitance (150 pF), voltage rating (500 V), tolerance (±2%), dielectric material (Mica), mounting configuration (Through Hole Radial), lead spacing (0.232" / 5.90mm), physical dimensions, and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).

Compliance Considerations:

The CD15FD151GO3F carries ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH Unaffected status, making it suitable for applications subject to European Union regulatory requirements. The CM05FD151GO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected, indicating it may contain restricted substances or require additional compliance documentation for regulated markets.

Selection Basis:

• For RoHS3-regulated applications: CD15FD151GO3F is the required selection.
• For applications without RoHS3 requirements: CM05FD151GO3 provides functional equivalence with identical electrical and mechanical performance.
• For inventory or availability constraints: CM05FD151GO3 serves as a direct functional substitute when compliance requirements permit.

Both parts are Active status products with confirmed inventory availability (CD15FD151GO3F: 1128 pcs; CM05FD151GO3: 927 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CM05FD151GO3 be used as a direct replacement for CD15FD151GO3F in all applications?

A: CM05FD151GO3 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. However, it differs in compliance certifications. If your application or market requires RoHS3 compliance or REACH Unaffected status, CD15FD151GO3F must be used. For applications without these regulatory requirements, CM05FD151GO3 provides identical electrical performance and physical compatibility.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and lead spacing identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions (0.461" L x 0.189" W / 11.70mm x 4.80mm), height when seated (0.370" / 9.40mm maximum), and lead spacing (0.232" / 5.90mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCB layouts designed for either part.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS and REACH differences?

A: RoHS3 compliance indicates the part meets European Union restrictions on hazardous substances. REACH Unaffected status means the part is not subject to REACH chemical registration requirements. The CD15FD151GO3F meets both standards; CM05FD151GO3 does not. Selection depends on your product's regulatory requirements and target markets.

Q: Do both parts operate across the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both CD15FD151GO3F and CM05FD151GO3 operate from -55°C to 125°C, ensuring equivalent thermal performance in the same application environment.

Q: Is the capacitance tolerance identical?

A: Yes. Both parts carry ±2% tolerance, ensuring equivalent circuit accuracy and performance in applications requiring this tolerance specification.

Q: What does "Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)" mean for CM05FD151GO3?

A: MSL 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life without moisture control measures. The CD15FD151GO3F lists MSL as Not Applicable, typical for mica capacitors which are inherently moisture-resistant. This difference does not affect functional equivalence.
