CDV30FF512FO3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CDV30FF512FO3 is a 5100 pF mica capacitor rated for 1 kV, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This through-hole radial component operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and is classified as a general-purpose capacitor. The part is currently active in production with 1072 units in stock. Mica capacitors of this specification are essential in applications requiring high voltage stability, low loss, and reliable performance in demanding environments. Alternative models may be required due to RoHS compliance requirements, supply chain considerations, or specific regulatory compliance needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CDV30FF512FO3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 5100 pF
• Tolerance: Must be ±1%
• Voltage Rating: Must be 1 kV
• Dielectric Material: Must be Mica
• Operating Temperature Range: Must be -55°C ~ 125°C
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Package Configuration: Must be Radial

The CDV30FF512FO3F qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute lies in regulatory compliance status, not functional performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CDV30FF512FO3 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and REACH-affected material usage is permitted. This part maintains full electrical and thermal performance specifications.

CDV30FF512FO3F is the appropriate selection for designs requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH-unaffected status. This variant provides identical electrical performance while meeting modern regulatory requirements. Both parts share the same ECCN classification and HTSUS code, indicating equivalent trade compliance profiles outside of RoHS and REACH considerations.

Selection between these two parts should be based solely on the regulatory compliance requirements of the end application and target market. Electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and mechanical compatibility are identical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CDV30FF512FO3 and CDV30FF512FO3F electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical capacitance (5100 pF), tolerance (±1%), voltage rating (1 kV), dielectric material (Mica), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and mounting configuration (Through Hole Radial). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is regulatory compliance. CDV30FF512FO3F is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while CDV30FF512FO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. All other specifications are identical.

Q: Which part should I use for new designs?

A: Selection depends on your application's regulatory requirements. If ROHS3 compliance or REACH-unaffected status is required, use CDV30FF512FO3F. If these requirements do not apply, either part is suitable based on availability and cost considerations.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and lead spacing identical?

A: Both parts are radial through-hole capacitors in the CDV30 series with identical package configuration. Lead spacing and mounting footprint are equivalent.

Q: Can I substitute one part for the other in existing inventory?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. However, verify that the regulatory compliance status of the substitute part meets your application requirements before implementation.
