CD5EC200JO3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD5EC200JO3 is a 20 pF mica capacitor rated for 300 V operation in a radial through-hole package, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and high voltage performance. Mica dielectric capacitors are selected for applications demanding low loss, excellent frequency stability, and reliable operation across extended temperature ranges from -55°C to 125°C. Identification of equivalent substitute parts becomes necessary when managing inventory constraints, addressing supply chain variations, or accommodating specific compliance requirements such as RoHS certification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CD5EC200JO3 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the CD5 series. The substitution logic requires:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 20 pF (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match)
• Voltage rating: 300 V (minimum requirement)
• Dielectric material: Mica (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (minimum coverage)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match)
• Package configuration: Radial (exact match)
• Lead spacing: 0.118" / 3.00 mm (exact match)

Variable Parameters Permitting Substitution:

• RoHS compliance status (non-compliant to compliant versions acceptable)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL rating variations)
• REACH compliance status
• Packaging quantity and inventory availability

The CD5EC200JO3F represents a direct substitute within the same product series, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CD5EC200JO3F as Primary Substitute:

The CD5EC200JO3F is a direct functional equivalent to the CD5EC200JO3, with all electrical and mechanical parameters matching exactly. The substitute part offers enhanced compliance characteristics:

• RoHS3 Compliance: The CD5EC200JO3F meets RoHS3 requirements, whereas the main part is non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS directive enforcement or customer specifications requiring RoHS-compliant components.

• REACH Status: The substitute part is REACH Unaffected, compared to the main part's REACH Affected status. This provides regulatory advantage in supply chains with REACH compliance mandates.

• Moisture Sensitivity Level: The CD5EC200JO3F specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling, whereas the main part lists MSL as Not Applicable.

Selection Criteria:

Use CD5EC200JO3F when:

• RoHS3 compliance is required by design specifications or customer requirements
• REACH compliance is mandated in the supply chain
• Inventory of the main part is depleted and the substitute is available

Use CD5EC200JO3 when:

• Existing inventory stock is available and cost optimization is prioritized
• RoHS and REACH compliance are not design requirements
• Legacy design documentation specifies the original part number

Both parts are Active status products from the same manufacturer and series, ensuring design continuity and performance equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CD5EC200JO3F be used as a direct replacement for CD5EC200JO3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CD5EC200JO3F is a direct substitute with identical electrical specifications (20 pF, ±5%, 300 V), dielectric material (Mica), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and mechanical configuration (radial through-hole, 0.118" lead spacing). PCB layouts and circuit designs require no modification.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are compliance certifications. CD5EC200JO3F is RoHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, while CD5EC200JO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. All functional and physical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any performance differences between CD5EC200JO3 and CD5EC200JO3F?

A: No. Both parts are manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics within the CD5 series and deliver identical electrical performance, capacitance stability, voltage rating, and temperature characteristics.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: CD5EC200JO3F is recommended for new designs due to RoHS3 and REACH compliance alignment with current regulatory standards and customer requirements.

Q: Is the lead spacing identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 0.118" (3.00 mm) lead spacing and identical radial package dimensions (0.272" L x 0.118" W, 6.90 mm x 3.00 mm), with maximum seated height of 0.201" (5.10 mm).

Q: Can these parts be mixed in the same production batch?

A: Yes, from a functional and mechanical standpoint. However, compliance documentation and traceability records should distinguish between RoHS-compliant and non-compliant versions if regulatory tracking is required.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) significance?

A: CD5EC200JO3F specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture absorption restrictions. The main part lists MSL as Not Applicable. For mica capacitors, this distinction has minimal practical impact on storage and handling procedures.
