Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CD15FD251GO3 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence. The following parameters must match identically to ensure functional interchangeability:

• Capacitance: 250 pF
• Tolerance: ±2%
• Voltage - Rated: 500 V
• Dielectric Material: Mica
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial
• Lead Spacing: 0.232" (5.90mm)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Size / Dimension: 0.469" L x 0.209" W (11.90mm x 5.30mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.390" (9.90mm)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes for the CD15FD251GO3.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CD15FD251GO3 and CD15FD251GO3F are parametrically equivalent 250 pF mica capacitors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction between these parts lies in regulatory compliance status.

The CD15FD251GO3F is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, making it the appropriate selection for applications subject to European Union environmental regulations or customer specifications requiring RoHS compliance. The CD15FD251GO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected, suitable for applications without such regulatory constraints.

Both parts are active products from Cornell Dubilier Electronics and are suitable for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the CD15FD251GO3 and CD15FD251GO3F electrically identical?
