CM05FD201FO3 Mica Capacitor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CM05FD201FO3 is a 200 pF mica capacitor rated for 500 V with radial through-hole mounting. This component is an active product from Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) designed for general purpose applications in circuits requiring stable capacitance and high voltage tolerance. Alternative models become necessary when product availability changes, when RoHS compliance is required for new designs, or when design revisions specify updated component series with identical electrical characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The CD15FD201FO3F qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the CM05FD201FO3 based on the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Both parts are 200 pF
• Tolerance: Both parts maintain ±1% tolerance
• Voltage Rating: Both parts are rated for 500 V
• Dielectric Material: Both use mica dielectric
• Operating Temperature Range: Both support -55°C to 125°C
• Mounting Configuration: Both are through-hole radial packages
• Lead Spacing: Both have 0.232" (5.90mm) lead spacing
• Physical Dimensions: Both share identical package footprint (0.461" L x 0.189" W, height 0.382" max)

These matching parameters ensure direct functional interchangeability in circuit applications where the CM05 series is currently specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CM05FD201FO3 and CD15FD201FO3F are active products from Cornell Dubilier Electronics with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The CD15FD201FO3F provides the additional advantage of ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making it suitable for designs subject to environmental and regulatory compliance requirements. For applications without compliance constraints, either part provides equivalent performance. Product availability and procurement lead times should be evaluated based on current inventory status and supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CD15FD201FO3F be used as a direct replacement for the CM05FD201FO3?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (200 pF), tolerance (±1%), voltage rating (500 V), dielectric material (mica), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and radial through-hole package configuration with matching lead spacing (0.232") and physical dimensions.

Q: Are there any differences in mechanical compatibility?

A: No. Both parts have identical package footprints, lead spacing, and seated heights. PCB layout and mechanical mounting require no modification when substituting between these parts.

Q: What is the primary advantage of the CD15FD201FO3F over the CM05FD201FO3?

A: The CD15FD201FO3F is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while the CM05FD201FO3 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Selection depends on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application.

Q: Are both parts currently in production?

A: Yes. Both CM05FD201FO3 and CD15FD201FO3F are listed as active products with available inventory.
