Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the CD15FD361JO3 is determined by the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 360 pF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 500 V minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Tolerance: ±5% (equal or tighter tolerance acceptable)
• Dielectric Material: Mica (required for electrical characteristics)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (minimum required coverage)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (required for assembly compatibility)
• Package / Case: Radial (required for physical fit)
• Lead Spacing: 0.232" (5.90mm) (required for PCB layout compatibility)

The substitute part CD15FD361JO3F matches all critical parameters and is manufactured by the same source, ensuring functional and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CD15FD361JO3 and CD15FD361JO3F are Active products manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics. The primary differentiation between these parts is compliance certification:

• CD15FD361JO3: RoHS non-compliant; REACH Affected
• CD15FD361JO3F: ROHS3 Compliant; REACH Unaffected

Selection should be based on regulatory requirements of the end application. Applications requiring RoHS3 compliance and unrestricted REACH status should specify CD15FD361JO3F. Applications without such regulatory constraints may utilize either part, with selection driven by inventory availability and supply chain considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CD15FD361JO3F be directly substituted for CD15FD361JO3? A: Yes. Both parts are electrical and mechanical equivalents with identical capacitance (360 pF), voltage rating (500 V), tolerance (±5%), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and physical dimensions. Direct substitution is supported at the functional level.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers? A: The primary difference is regulatory compliance. CD15FD361JO3F is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, while CD15FD361JO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are the physical packages identical? A: Yes. Both parts use radial Through Hole mounting with identical lead spacing (0.232" / 5.90mm), dimensions (0.469" L x 0.209" W), and maximum seated height (0.390").

Q: What determines if a mica capacitor can substitute for the CD15FD361JO3? A: Substitution requires matching the following parameters: 360 pF capacitance, 500 V voltage rating, ±5% tolerance, Mica dielectric, -55°C ~ 125°C temperature range, Through Hole mounting, Radial package, 0.232" lead spacing, and 0.469" x 0.209" dimensions.

Q: Can I use a different voltage rating? A: Only capacitors rated for 500 V or higher are compatible. Lower voltage ratings do not meet the electrical specification for this application.

Q: Does the REACH or RoHS compliance affect electrical performance? A: No. Compliance certifications indicate regulatory adherence and material composition constraints but do not alter electrical or thermal characteristics. Performance is equivalent between both parts.
