CD5CC050CO3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD5CC050CO3 is a 5 pF mica capacitor rated for 300 V operation in a radial through-hole configuration, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance values across a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Mica capacitors of this specification are essential in RF circuits, timing networks, and precision filtering applications where low capacitance values and high voltage ratings are required. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, manage supply chain alternatives, and maintain performance specifications across production batches.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CD5CC050CO3 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part CD5CC050CO3F maintains identical specifications for capacitance (5 pF), tolerance (±1 pF), voltage rating (300 V), dielectric material (mica), mounting configuration (through-hole radial), lead spacing (0.118" / 3.00 mm), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and physical dimensions (0.272" L x 0.110" W / 6.90 mm x 2.80 mm). The primary distinction between these parts lies in compliance certifications: the CD5CC050CO3F achieves RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, whereas the original CD5CC050CO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Both parts share identical series designation (CD5), product status (Active), and functional classification (general purpose). Substitution is valid when compliance requirements permit the use of either variant or when regulatory standards necessitate the compliant alternative.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between CD5CC050CO3 and CD5CC050CO3F is determined by regulatory and compliance requirements applicable to the end application.

CD5CC050CO3 is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated and REACH-affected materials are acceptable. This variant maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with existing designs and is currently available with 759 pieces in stock.

CD5CC050CO3F is the required selection for applications subject to RoHS3 regulations or where REACH compliance is specified. This variant provides identical electrical performance and physical compatibility while meeting modern environmental compliance standards. This part is available with 1118 pieces in stock, providing greater supply availability.

Both parts are Active status products from the same manufacturer and series, ensuring consistent quality and performance characteristics. The selection decision is driven exclusively by compliance certification requirements rather than electrical or mechanical considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CD5CC050CO3F be used as a direct replacement for CD5CC050CO3?

A: Yes. The CD5CC050CO3F is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent.
