Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—CD15FD221GO3, CD15FD221GO3F, and CM05FD221GO3—are electrically and mechanically equivalent and interchangeable based on the specified parameters.

CD15FD221GO3F is the preferred substitute when RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are required by application or regulatory specifications. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical characteristics while offering enhanced compliance posture.

CM05FD221GO3 serves as an alternative equivalent when inventory or supply chain considerations necessitate selection from the CM05 series. This part is electrically and mechanically identical to the CD15 series variants and carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

CD15FD221GO3 remains the baseline reference part and is suitable for applications without specific compliance mandates. Selection among these three parts should be based on compliance requirements, inventory availability, and supply chain logistics rather than electrical performance, as all three deliver identical functional characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CD15FD221GO3, CD15FD221GO3F, and CM05FD221GO3 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical specifications: 220 pF capacitance, ±2% tolerance, 500 V rating, mica dielectric, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

Q: Are these parts mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three parts feature identical mechanical specifications: radial through-hole mounting, 0.232" (5.90mm) lead spacing, 0.461" L x 0.201" W (11.70mm x 5.10mm) dimensions, and 0.382" (9.70mm) maximum seated height.

Q: What is the difference between CD15FD221GO3 and CD15FD221GO3F?

A: The primary difference is compliance status. CD15FD221GO3F is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while CD15FD221GO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can CM05FD221GO3 replace CD15FD221GO3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. CM05FD221GO3 is a direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical parameters. The series designation change (CM05 versus CD15) does not affect compatibility or performance.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) on CM05FD221GO3 indicate?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has no moisture sensitivity constraints and does not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection should be based on compliance requirements and supply chain availability. CD15FD221GO3F is recommended when RoHS3 and REACH compliance are specified. CM05FD221GO3 is suitable when series flexibility is acceptable. CD15FD221GO3 is appropriate for applications without specific compliance mandates.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these three parts?

A: No. All three parts deliver identical electrical performance, temperature stability, and voltage rating across the specified operating range.
