CD15FD201JO3F Mica Capacitor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD15FD201JO3F is a 200 pF mica capacitor rated for 500 V, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) in the CD15 series. This component is an active product designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and high voltage tolerance. Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable from inventory, when RoHS or REACH compliance requirements differ between procurement specifications, or when alternative series designations are acceptable within the same parametric envelope.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CD15FD201JO3F are determined by strict parametric matching across the following critical criteria:

• Capacitance Value: 200 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Rated Voltage: 500 V (exact match required)
• Dielectric Type: Mica (exact match required)
• Mounting Configuration: Through Hole, Radial package with 0.232" (5.90mm) lead spacing (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.461" L x 0.189" W and 0.382" maximum seated height (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)

The two substitute parts listed—CD15FD201JO3 and CM05FD201JO3—meet all parametric equivalence requirements. Variations in RoHS compliance status, REACH regulatory impact, and Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) classification represent regulatory or environmental differences that do not affect electrical or mechanical substitutability within the specified parameter envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (CD15FD201JO3F): Select this part when RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are required. This part maintains all parametric equivalence with full regulatory compliance coverage.

Alternative Selection (CD15FD201JO3): This part provides parametric equivalence with the CD15 series designation. Selection applies when RoHS compliance is not required or when REACH regulatory status is acceptable within project specifications. All electrical and mechanical parameters match the primary part exactly.

Alternative Selection (CM05FD201JO3): This part provides parametric equivalence with the CM05 series designation. Selection applies when component interchangeability within different series is acceptable and MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) classification is compatible with assembly and storage conditions. All electrical and mechanical parameters match the primary part exactly.

All three parts are active products and share identical electrical characteristics, physical footprints, and mounting configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CD15FD201JO3F, CD15FD201JO3, and CM05FD201JO3 electrically identical? A: Yes. All three parts provide the same 200 pF capacitance, ±5% tolerance, and 500 V rating with mica dielectric construction. Electrical performance across the -55°C ~ 125°C operating range is identical.

Q: Can I substitute CD15FD201JO3 for CD15FD201JO3F in a design? A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. However, the CD15FD201JO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected, whereas the CD15FD201JO3F is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Verify that your application and procurement requirements do not mandate RoHS or REACH compliance before making this substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the CM05 and CD15 series? A: Both are CDE mica capacitor series with identical parametric specifications for this 200 pF, 500 V application. The series designation represents internal CDE product categorization. The CM05FD201JO3 differs in MSL classification (1/Unlimited) compared to CD15 variants, which list MSL as not applicable.

Q: Do all three parts have the same physical footprint? A: Yes. All three parts share identical mounting type (Through Hole, Radial), lead spacing (0.232"/5.90mm), and physical dimensions (0.461" L x 0.189" W, maximum seated height 0.382"). PCB layout and assembly procedures are interchangeable.

Q: Which part should I select if RoHS compliance is required? A: The CD15FD201JO3F is ROHS3 compliant. The CD15FD201JO3 and CM05FD201JO3 are both RoHS non-compliant and are not suitable for applications with RoHS requirements.

Q: Are there any inventory considerations for these substitutes? A: Current inventory levels are CD15FD201JO3F (1167 pcs), CM05FD201JO3 (914 pcs), and CD15FD201JO3 (880 pcs). All three parts are available as new original stock. Inventory levels may change; verify current availability through your supplier.
