Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The CD15CD080DO3F qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the CM05CD080DO3 based on identical electrical characteristics and mechanical compatibility. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

• Capacitance Match: 8 pF (identical)
• Tolerance Alignment: ±0.5 pF (identical)
• Voltage Rating: 500 V (equal or higher required; substitute matches exactly)
• Dielectric Material: Mica (same material type required)
• Mounting Configuration: Through Hole Radial (identical mechanical format)
• Lead Spacing: 0.232" (5.90 mm) (identical footprint requirement)
• Package Dimensions: 0.449" L x 0.169" W x 0.358" H max (identical form factor)
• Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (identical operating envelope)

Both parts belong to the Cornell Dubilier Electronics mica capacitor portfolio and satisfy the core substitution parameters for direct application in equivalent circuits.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CM05CD080DO3 and CD15CD080DO3F are active products from Cornell Dubilier Electronics with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction lies in compliance status: the CD15CD080DO3F achieves ROHS3 compliance and carries unaffected REACH status, whereas the CM05CD080DO3 is non-compliant with RoHS and subject to REACH regulation. For applications requiring regulatory compliance with environmental and hazardous substance directives, the CD15CD080DO3F is the appropriate selection. For legacy applications or where RoHS compliance is not mandated, either part satisfies the electrical and mechanical requirements. Both parts share the same capacitance tolerance, voltage rating, dielectric material, operating temperature range, and package geometry, ensuring functional interchangeability within specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CD15CD080DO3F be used as a direct replacement for the CM05CD080DO3?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical capacitance (8 pF), tolerance (±0.5 pF), voltage rating (500 V), dielectric material (mica), mounting type (through hole radial), lead spacing (0.232"), and overall dimensions. They are functionally equivalent for electrical circuit requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the CM05CD080DO3 and CD15CD080DO3F?

A: The parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The CD15CD080DO3F meets ROHS3 compliance requirements and carries unaffected REACH status, while the CM05CD080DO3 does not comply with RoHS directives and is subject to REACH regulation.

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are housed in identical radial through-hole packages with matching lead spacing (0.232" / 5.90 mm), length (0.449" / 11.40 mm), width (0.169" / 4.30 mm), and maximum seated height (0.358" / 9.10 mm). PCB layouts require no modification.

Q: What parameters define substitutability for this mica capacitor?

A: Substitution is defined by identical capacitance value (8 pF), tolerance (±0.5 pF), voltage rating (500 V), dielectric material (mica), through-hole radial package type, and lead spacing (0.232"). All these parameters must match for direct substitution.

Q: Can a higher voltage-rated mica capacitor substitute for the 500 V part?

A: Within the parameters provided, substitutes must match the 500 V voltage rating. Higher-rated alternatives are not listed in this substitution data.

Q: What should be considered when selecting between these two equivalent parts?

A: If regulatory compliance with RoHS3 and REACH is required, select CD15CD080DO3F. If no compliance requirements exist, either part is acceptable based on availability and inventory status.
