CD15FD201FO3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD15FD201FO3 is a 200 pF mica capacitor rated for 500 V with ±1% tolerance, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This through-hole radial component operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and is classified as a general-purpose capacitor. The part is currently active in production with 973 units in stock.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when supply chain constraints occur, or when design requirements mandate compliance with specific regulatory standards such as RoHS3.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CD15FD201FO3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 200 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 500 V (exact match required)
• Dielectric Type: Mica (exact match required)
• Mounting Configuration: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.232" / 5.90 mm (exact match required)
• Physical Envelope: 0.461" L x 0.189" W x 0.382" H max (exact match required)
• Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)

The substitute part CD15FD201FO3F meets all electrical and mechanical parameters identically to the primary part. The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD15FD201FO3 is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not a design requirement and REACH-affected material usage is acceptable. This part remains in active production with adequate inventory (973 units).

CD15FD201FO3F is the appropriate selection for designs requiring RoHS3 compliance and REACH-unaffected status. This variant maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while meeting modern regulatory requirements. Inventory availability is 737 units.

Both parts are manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics within the CD15 series and carry the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications. Selection between these two parts should be based solely on regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the end application and target market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CD15FD201FO3 and CD15FD201FO3F electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical capacitance (200 pF), tolerance (±1%), voltage rating (500 V), temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and dielectric material (mica). They are functionally equivalent in all electrical parameters.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on a PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical physical dimensions (0.461" L x 0.189" W), lead spacing (0.232" / 5.90 mm), and mounting configuration (through-hole radial). They occupy the same footprint and require no PCB layout modifications.

Q: What is the difference between CD15FD201FO3 and CD15FD201FO3F?

A: The primary difference is regulatory compliance. CD15FD201FO3F is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while CD15FD201FO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. All other specifications are identical.

Q: Which part should I specify for a new design?

A: Specify CD15FD201FO3F if your application or target market requires RoHS3 compliance or REACH compliance. Specify CD15FD201FO3 only if regulatory compliance is not a requirement and cost optimization is the primary driver.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. CD15FD201FO3 has 973 units in stock, and CD15FD201FO3F has 737 units in stock. Both are active production parts from Cornell Dubilier Electronics.

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

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is not applicable to both parts, indicating standard handling and storage conditions are sufficient.
