CM06FD162FO3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CM06FD162FO3 is a 1600 pF mica capacitor rated for 500 V with radial through-hole mounting, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and high voltage performance. The mica dielectric provides excellent frequency stability and low loss characteristics across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when component availability is limited, supply chain disruptions occur, or when design requirements permit selection from alternative product lines within the same manufacturer that maintain identical or superior electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CM06FD162FO3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Capacitance: 1600 pF
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Voltage Rating: 500 V
• Dielectric Material: Mica

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial
• Lead Spacing: 0.343 inches (8.70 mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.532 inches (13.50 mm)

Operating Conditions (Must Match):

• Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
• Application Class: General Purpose

The CD19FD162FO3F qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical values across all electrical, mechanical, and operating condition parameters. Both components are manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics and share the same mica dielectric technology, capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance, and physical form factor.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: CM06FD162FO3

The CM06FD162FO3 remains the primary component choice when RoHS non-compliance is acceptable within the application's regulatory framework and when REACH-affected materials are permitted by design specifications.

Substitute Selection: CD19FD162FO3F

The CD19FD162FO3F is the direct parametric equivalent and is recommended for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH-unaffected material status. This substitute maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the CM06FD162FO3 across all critical parameters. The CD19 series represents an updated product line from Cornell Dubilier Electronics that incorporates enhanced compliance certifications while preserving the identical functional performance of the CM06 series.

Both components are Active status products with confirmed inventory availability. Selection between these two parts should be determined by the regulatory and compliance requirements of the end application, not by electrical or mechanical performance considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CD19FD162FO3F be used as a direct replacement for the CM06FD162FO3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CD19FD162FO3F is a direct parametric equivalent. All electrical specifications (capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, dielectric material, temperature range) and mechanical specifications (mounting type, package form, lead spacing, height) are identical. PCB layouts and circuit designs require no modification.

Q: What is the difference between the CM06 and CD19 series?

A: Both series are manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics and share identical electrical and mechanical characteristics for equivalent part numbers. The primary difference is regulatory compliance: the CD19 series (represented by CD19FD162FO3F) is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while the CM06 series (represented by CM06FD162FO3) is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these two parts?

A: No. Both the CM06FD162FO3 and CD19FD162FO3F deliver identical electrical performance. Capacitance stability, frequency response, temperature coefficient, and voltage handling are equivalent across both components.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: For new designs, specify the CD19FD162FO3F if your application or customer requirements mandate ROHS3 compliance or REACH-unaffected material status. If no such regulatory requirements exist, either part is acceptable. Verify compliance requirements with your design specifications and customer documentation.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both components have identical lead spacing (0.343 inches / 8.70 mm), maximum seated height (0.532 inches / 13.50 mm), and overall dimensions (0.661" L x 0.228" W / 16.80 mm x 5.80 mm). No PCB layout modifications are required when substituting between these parts.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these components?

A: The CM06FD162FO3 has an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). The CD19FD162FO3F lists MSL as Not Applicable. Both ratings indicate minimal moisture sensitivity risk for standard handling and storage conditions.
