CD16FD331JO3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD16FD331JO3 is a 330 pF mica capacitor rated for 500 V operation, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) in the CD16 series. This through-hole radial component is designed for RF applications requiring high Q and low loss characteristics. The part is currently active in production with 704 units in stock.

Identification of substitute parts becomes necessary when the primary part number reaches end-of-life status, experiences supply constraints, or when design requirements mandate compliance with specific regulatory standards such as RoHS3 certification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CD16FD331JO3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

  • Capacitance Value: 330 pF (exact match required)
  • Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
  • Voltage Rating: 500 V (exact match required)
  • Dielectric Type: Mica (exact match required)
  • Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
  • Mounting Configuration: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
  • Lead Spacing: 0.234" / 5.94 mm (exact match required)
  • Physical Dimensions: 0.449" L × 0.161" W / 11.40 mm × 4.10 mm (exact match required)

The CD16FD331JO3F qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction lies in regulatory compliance status.
