Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CD5EC820JO3 are determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The critical parameters for substitution are:

  • Capacitance: 82 pF (exact match required)
  • Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
  • Voltage - Rated: 300 V (exact match required)
  • Dielectric Material: Mica (exact match required)
  • Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
  • Package / Case: Radial (exact match required)
  • Lead Spacing: 0.118" (3.00mm) (exact match required)
  • Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
  • Physical Dimensions: 0.272" L x 0.161" W (6.90mm x 4.10mm), Height 0.228" max (exact match required)

The identified substitute, CD5EC820JO3F, meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the primary part, enabling direct functional replacement in circuit applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CD5EC820JO3 and CD5EC820JO3F are active products from Cornell Dubilier Electronics meeting all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. The primary differentiation between these parts exists in compliance status:

  • CD5EC820JO3: RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected
  • CD5EC820JO3F: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

Selection between these parts depends on system-level compliance requirements. Applications subject to RoHS3 or REACH restrictions should specify CD5EC820JO3F. Applications without such restrictions may use either part based on inventory availability. Both parts are functionally identical in circuit operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CD5EC820JO3 and CD5EC820JO3F electrically interchangeable? A: Yes. Both parts have identical capacitance (82 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (300 V), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB assembly? A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications: radial through-hole package, 0.118" (3.00mm) lead spacing, 0.272" L x 0.161" W (6.90mm x 4.10mm) dimensions, and 0.228" (5.80mm) maximum seated height. They use the same footprint on printed circuit boards.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers? A: The primary difference is compliance certification. CD5EC820JO3F is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, while CD5EC820JO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Which part should I use for new designs? A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements applicable to your application. Designs subject to RoHS3 or REACH restrictions should use CD5EC820JO3F. For applications without such compliance mandates, either part is suitable based on availability.

Q: Are both parts currently in stock? A: Yes. CD5EC820JO3 has 825 pcs in stock, and CD5EC820JO3F has 877 pcs in stock.

Q: Do these parts require any special handling or storage conditions? A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control is required during storage or handling.
