Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CD15FD201GO3F is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Capacitance: 200 pF
• Tolerance: ±2%
• Voltage - Rated: 500 V
• Dielectric Material: Mica

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial
• Lead Spacing: 0.232" (5.90mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.382" (9.70mm)
• Size / Dimension: 0.461" L x 0.189" W (11.70mm x 4.80mm)

Operating Conditions (Must Match Exactly):

• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C

The substitute part CM05FD201GO3 meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. Differences in RoHS compliance status, REACH classification, and moisture sensitivity level do not affect functional interchangeability but must be evaluated against specific application and regulatory requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD15FD201GO3F Selection Criteria:

• Required for applications subject to RoHS3 compliance mandates
• Suitable for REACH-regulated supply chains where REACH Unaffected status is mandatory
• Preferred for moisture-sensitive environments where MSL classification is a design constraint

CM05FD201GO3 Selection Criteria:

• Functionally equivalent for applications without RoHS3 or REACH compliance requirements
• Suitable for general-purpose applications where regulatory compliance is not a limiting factor
• Available as an alternative when CD15FD201GO3F inventory is constrained

Both parts are Active product status from the same manufacturer and deliver identical electrical performance, capacitance stability, and mechanical fit within specified circuit board layouts. Selection between these parts depends solely on regulatory compliance requirements and supply chain constraints specific to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CM05FD201GO3 be used as a direct replacement for CD15FD201GO3F in all applications?

A: CM05FD201GO3 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to CD15FD201GO3F. However, it differs in RoHS compliance status (non-compliant vs. ROHS3 Compliant) and REACH classification (Affected vs. Unaffected). Direct substitution is permissible only in applications where these compliance differences do not impose design or regulatory constraints.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Capacitance (200 pF), tolerance (±2%), rated voltage (500 V), and dielectric material (Mica) must be identical. Both substitute parts meet these requirements exactly.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and lead spacing identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical radial package configuration, lead spacing of 0.232" (5.90mm), seated height of 0.382" (9.70mm), and overall dimensions of 0.461" L x 0.189" W (11.70mm x 4.80mm). PCB layout compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both CD15FD201GO3F and CM05FD201GO3 operate across -55°C to 125°C. Temperature performance is identical.

Q: How do RoHS and REACH compliance differences affect component selection?

A: RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status are regulatory certifications. CD15FD201GO3F carries both certifications; CM05FD201GO3 does not. Selection depends on whether the end application or supply chain requires these certifications. Electrical performance is unaffected by compliance status.

Q: Are both parts currently in active production?

A: Yes. Both CD15FD201GO3F and CM05FD201GO3 maintain Active product status with Cornell Dubilier Electronics.
