CD17CD150JO3 Mica Capacitor 15pF 500V Radial Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD17CD150JO3 is a 15 pF mica capacitor rated for 500 V with radial through-hole mounting, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for RF applications requiring high Q factor and low loss characteristics. The need to identify equivalent and substitute parts arises from inventory availability, compliance requirements, and manufacturing continuity considerations. The main part is RoHS non-compliant, which may necessitate sourcing compliant alternatives for certain applications or regions.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CD17CD150JO3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 15 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 500 V (exact match required)
• Dielectric material: Mica (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.232" (5.90mm) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.449" L x 0.169" W, Height 0.358" max (exact match required)

Environmental & Operational Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 150°C (exact match required)
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

Compliance & Regulatory Parameters:

• RoHS status, REACH status, and ECCN classification are noted but do not prevent substitution; however, they are relevant for application-specific requirements.

The substitute part CD17CD150JO3F meets all electrical, mechanical, and environmental criteria for direct substitution. The primary distinction is the RoHS compliance status of the substitute part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CD17CD150JO3F serves as a direct parametric equivalent to the CD17CD150JO3. Both parts are manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics within the CD17 series and share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications.

Selection Criteria Based on Compliance:

For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance or REACH compliance, the CD17CD150JO3F is the appropriate selection. The substitute part maintains full functional equivalence while addressing regulatory compliance requirements.

For applications with no specific compliance mandates, either part may be selected based on inventory availability. The CD17CD150JO3F currently has higher inventory availability (3255 pcs) compared to the main part (935 pcs).

Both parts are classified as Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing support and supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CD17CD150JO3F be used as a direct replacement for CD17CD150JO3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CD17CD150JO3F is a direct parametric equivalent. All electrical specifications (15 pF, ±5%, 500 V), mechanical dimensions (radial, 0.232" lead spacing, 0.449" L x 0.169" W), and environmental operating range (-55°C to 150°C) are identical. No circuit redesign or PCB layout modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are regulatory compliance status and inventory availability. The CD17CD150JO3F is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while the CD17CD150JO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Functionally and mechanically, the parts are identical.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and lead spacing identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical dimensions: 0.449" length x 0.169" width, maximum seated height of 0.358", and lead spacing of 0.232" (5.90mm). PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs, the CD17CD150JO3F is recommended due to ROHS3 compliance and higher current inventory availability. For legacy designs already using CD17CD150JO3, either part may be used without modification.

Q: Are both parts suitable for RF applications?

A: Yes. Both parts feature RF, High Q, and Low Loss characteristics and are rated for the same operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C), making them suitable for identical RF application requirements.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these capacitors?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
