Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CD5FA201JO3 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part CD5FA201JO3F maintains identical specifications for capacitance (200 pF), tolerance (±5%), rated voltage (100 V), dielectric material (mica), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), mounting type (through hole), package configuration (radial), lead spacing (0.118" / 3.00 mm), and physical dimensions. Both components belong to the CD5 series and share the same general-purpose application classification.

The primary distinction between these parts is their compliance status. The original CD5FA201JO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected, while the substitute CD5FA201JO3F achieves RoHS3 compliance and is REACH-unaffected. This substitution relationship is bidirectional, as both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the same circuit design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between CD5FA201JO3 and CD5FA201JO3F should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements applicable to the end application.

CD5FA201JO3 is suitable for applications where RoHS and REACH compliance are not mandated or where legacy component specifications are required for design continuity.

CD5FA201JO3F is the appropriate choice for applications subject to RoHS3 regulations or REACH compliance requirements. This variant provides identical electrical and mechanical performance while meeting modern environmental and regulatory standards.

Both components are active products with established supply availability. The selection between them does not affect circuit performance, thermal characteristics, or mechanical fit, as all functional parameters remain constant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CD5FA201JO3 and CD5FA201JO3F electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components have identical capacitance (200 pF), tolerance (±5%), rated voltage (100 V), temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and dielectric material (mica). They perform identically in circuit applications.

Q: Can CD5FA201JO3F be used as a direct replacement for CD5FA201JO3 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. The components share identical mechanical specifications including radial package configuration, lead spacing (0.118" / 3.00 mm), and physical dimensions (0.272" L x 0.189" W, height 0.252" max). No PCB redesign is required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is compliance certification. CD5FA201JO3F is RoHS3 compliant and REACH-unaffected, while CD5FA201JO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: CD5FA201JO3F is recommended for new designs, as it meets current RoHS3 and REACH compliance standards while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original specification.

Q: Is there any performance difference between these capacitors?

A: No. Both components operate within the same temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), maintain identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited), and deliver equivalent performance in general-purpose applications.

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

A: Yes, from a functional and mechanical standpoint. However, compliance documentation and supply chain traceability should be maintained separately to ensure regulatory compliance for the end application.
