Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the CD5CC050DO3 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part CD5CC050DO3F maintains identical specifications in:

• Electrical Parameters: Capacitance (5 pF), tolerance (±0.5 pF), and rated voltage (300 V)
• Material Specification: Mica dielectric material
• Thermal Performance: Operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C)
• Mechanical Parameters: Mounting type (through hole), package style (radial), lead spacing (0.118" / 3.00 mm), and overall dimensions (0.272" L x 0.110" W, 0.189" max height)
• Series Classification: Both parts belong to the CD5 series

The CD5CC050DO3F is a direct substitute based on functional and physical equivalence, with differences limited to compliance certifications and inventory status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CD5CC050DO3 and CD5CC050DO3F are functionally equivalent and fully interchangeable for circuit-level requirements. Component selection should be based on regulatory compliance requirements and supply chain availability.

CD5CC050DO3 is appropriate when RoHS compliance exemptions are acceptable and cost optimization is prioritized. Current inventory supports 946 units.

CD5CC050DO3F is the preferred choice for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance without restrictions. This variant features higher inventory availability (1829 units) and unrestricted moisture sensitivity classification, supporting broader deployment scenarios. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity concerns for storage and handling.

Selection between these parts should be governed by your product's regulatory requirements, supply agreements, and logistics considerations. Both maintain identical electrical performance and physical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CD5CC050DO3F replace CD5CC050DO3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, dielectric material, operating temperature range, and all physical dimensions are identical. PCB layouts, footprints, and circuit designs require no modification.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is certification status. CD5CC050DO3F is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while CD5CC050DO3 is not ROHS compliant and is REACH affected. Both are functionally identical for electrical circuit performance.

Q: Are there any handling or storage differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are mica dielectric capacitors with no moisture sensitivity concerns. CD5CC050DO3F has an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), confirming unrestricted storage conditions. Standard component handling practices apply to both variants.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: CD5CC050DO3F is recommended for new designs due to ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status, which align with modern regulatory requirements and supply chain expectations. Higher inventory availability also supports production continuity.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both CD5CC050DO3 and CD5CC050DO3F are manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) and belong to the CD5 series. They are supplied as new original parts.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitutability?

A: Substitutability is confirmed by matching capacitance (5 pF), tolerance (±0.5 pF), rated voltage (300 V), dielectric material (mica), temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), mounting type (through hole), and mechanical dimensions. All these parameters are identical between the two parts, ensuring direct substitution.
