CD5CC120JO3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD5CC120JO3 is a 12 pF mica capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) in the CD5 series. This through-hole radial component operates at 300 V rated voltage with ±5% tolerance and is classified as a general-purpose capacitor. The part is currently active in production with 1098 pieces available in inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and mounting characteristics remain identical or functionally equivalent. The CD5CC120JO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected, making alternative configurations necessary for applications requiring modern compliance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CD5CC120JO3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 12 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 300 V (exact match required)
• Dielectric Type: Mica (exact match required)
• Mounting Configuration: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.118" (3.00mm) (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.272" L x 0.110" W x 0.189" H max (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)

The CD5CC120JO3F qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute because it maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. Differences in RoHS compliance status and REACH classification do not affect functional equivalence but may determine suitability for specific regulatory environments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD5CC120JO3 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and REACH-affected materials are permitted. This part maintains active production status with adequate inventory availability.

CD5CC120JO3F is the appropriate selection for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH-unaffected material status. This variant provides identical electrical and mechanical performance while meeting modern regulatory requirements. Higher inventory levels (1575 pieces) support extended lead-time requirements.

Both parts are functionally interchangeable in circuit applications where the electrical specifications (12 pF, ±5%, 300 V, mica dielectric, -55°C to 125°C) are required. Selection between the two should be based on regulatory compliance mandates specific to the end application and geographic market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CD5CC120JO3F replace CD5CC120JO3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CD5CC120JO3F is a parametric equivalent with identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, dielectric material, mounting type, lead spacing, and physical dimensions. Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the difference between CD5CC120JO3 and CD5CC120JO3F?

A: The primary differences are regulatory compliance status. CD5CC120JO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected. CD5CC120JO3F is ROHS3 compliant and REACH-unaffected. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.
