Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CDV16FF271JO3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value of 270 pF
• Tolerance of ±5%
• Voltage rating of 1 kV
• Mica dielectric material
• RF, High Q, Low Loss characteristics

Critical Mechanical Parameters:

• Through-hole radial mounting configuration
• Lead spacing within acceptable tolerance (0.232" to 0.234")
• Physical envelope compatible with 0.449" L x 0.161" W dimensions
• Maximum seated height of 0.469"

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS and REACH status may differ between main part and substitute
• ECCN and HTSUS classifications remain consistent across the series

The CDV16FF271JO3F qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and compatible mechanical dimensions, with the primary distinction being improved RoHS3 compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CDV16FF271JO3F as Primary Substitute:

The CDV16FF271JO3F is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the CDV16FF271JO3 across all critical parameters. The lead spacing variance of 0.002" (0.04mm) is within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances for through-hole radial components and does not impact circuit performance or board layout compatibility.

Compliance Advantage:

The CDV16FF271JO3F provides ROHS3 compliance status, whereas the CDV16FF271JO3 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or end-use markets requiring RoHS certification, the CDV16FF271JO3F is the appropriate selection. The CDV16FF271JO3F is also REACH Unaffected, compared to the REACH Affected status of the main part, providing regulatory advantage in restricted substance management.

Inventory Consideration:

The CDV16FF271JO3F maintains higher current inventory (1741 pcs) compared to the CDV16FF271JO3 (1148 pcs), supporting supply chain continuity.

Application Compatibility:

Both parts are suitable for RF circuits, high-frequency filtering, and precision applications requiring low-loss, high-Q mica dielectric performance. No functional differences exist between the two parts in circuit operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CDV16FF271JO3F be used as a direct replacement for the CDV16FF271JO3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CDV16FF271JO3F is electrically and mechanically equivalent. The 0.002" lead spacing difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances for radial through-hole components and does not affect circuit performance or board layout.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference between these parts?

A: The CDV16FF271JO3 is RoHS non-compliant, while the CDV16FF271JO3F is ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS directives, EU market requirements, or customer specifications mandating RoHS compliance must use the CDV16FF271JO3F.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these capacitors?

A: No. Both parts share identical capacitance (270 pF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (1 kV), dielectric material (mica), operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C), and RF/High Q/Low Loss characteristics.

Q: How do the physical dimensions compare?

A: The physical envelope is identical: 0.449" L x 0.161" W (11.40mm x 4.10mm) with maximum seated height of 0.469" (11.90mm). Lead spacing differs by 0.002" (0.04mm), which is negligible for PCB footprint design.

Q: What is the REACH status difference, and does it matter?

A: The CDV16FF271JO3 is REACH Affected, while the CDV16FF271JO3F is REACH Unaffected. For applications in REACH-regulated markets or where restricted substance documentation is required, the CDV16FF271JO3F is the appropriate choice.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-frequency RF circuits?

A: Yes. Both parts are specified with identical RF, High Q, and Low Loss characteristics, making them functionally interchangeable in RF applications, filtering circuits, and precision frequency-dependent applications.

Q: Is there a lead time or availability advantage to selecting one part over the other?

A: The CDV16FF271JO3F has higher current inventory (1741 pcs) compared to the CDV16FF271JO3 (1148 pcs), potentially providing better supply chain availability.
