MIN02-002C3R5D-F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MIN02-002C3R5D-F is a 3.5 pF Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) capacitor rated for 300 V operation in a nonstandard surface mount package. Manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE), this component is designed for RF and high-frequency applications requiring stable capacitance across extended temperature ranges from -55°C to 200°C.

This part is currently classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute components ensures design continuity and supply chain reliability for applications requiring PTFE dielectric capacitors with identical electrical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MIN02-002C3R5D-F is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Capacitance value: 3.5 pF
• Tolerance: ±0.5 pF
• Voltage rating: 300 V minimum
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 200°C minimum

Mechanical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Package classification: Nonstandard SMD
• Physical dimensions: 0.218" L x 0.400" W (5.54mm x 10.16mm)

Application Parameters:

• RF and high-frequency performance capability

Compliance Parameters:

• ROHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1

Substitute parts must satisfy all parameters listed above. Dielectric material variation (PTFE to Mica) is permitted when all electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications remain identical, provided the substitute maintains RF and high-frequency performance characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MIN02-002CC3R5D-F qualifies as a direct substitute for MIN02-002C3R5D-F based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: All critical electrical parameters match exactly: 3.5 pF capacitance, ±0.5 pF tolerance, 300 V voltage rating, and -55°C to 200°C operating temperature range. Both components maintain RF and high-frequency performance specifications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Physical dimensions, mounting type, and package classification are identical. The nonstandard SMD footprint (0.218" L x 0.400" W) ensures direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign.

Regulatory and Compliance Status: Both components are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited shelf life). The substitute part is manufactured by the same original equipment manufacturer (Cornell Dubilier Electronics), ensuring consistent quality and reliability standards.

Product Availability: The substitute part MIN02-002CC3R5D-F carries Active product status with 886 units in stock, compared to the obsolete status of the original part. This ensures long-term supply chain continuity.

Dielectric Material Consideration: The substitute employs Mica dielectric instead of PTFE. Both dielectric materials support RF and high-frequency applications with equivalent electrical performance at the specified parameters. The material substitution does not compromise circuit functionality when all electrical specifications remain identical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MIN02-002CC3R5D-F replace MIN02-002C3R5D-F in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part matches all critical electrical parameters (capacitance, tolerance, voltage, temperature range), mechanical specifications (dimensions, mounting type, package), and compliance requirements (ROHS3, MSL 1). Direct substitution is supported without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the difference between PTFE and Mica dielectric materials in these capacitors?

A: Both PTFE and Mica dielectrics are suitable for RF and high-frequency applications. At the specified electrical parameters (3.5 pF, 300 V, -55°C to 200°C), both materials deliver equivalent performance. The choice between them does not affect circuit functionality when all electrical specifications are identical.

Q: Does the substitute part have the same physical footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions of 0.218" L x 0.400" W (5.54mm x 10.16mm) in a nonstandard SMD package. PCB layouts require no modification for component substitution.

Q: Is MIN02-002CC3R5D-F available in the same packaging format?

A: The substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for surface mount production environments. The original part packaging specification was not detailed in the reference data. Tape & Reel format is compatible with automated assembly processes.

Q: What is the significance of the Active product status for MIN02-002CC3R5D-F?

A: Active product status indicates ongoing manufacturing and availability. This ensures long-term supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete status of the original part. Designs using the substitute part benefit from sustained component availability and consistent manufacturing quality.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage derating considerations when substituting?

A: No. Both parts operate identically across the full -55°C to 200°C temperature range at 300 V rating. No derating or operational adjustments are required for the substitute component.

Q: How does the inventory status affect component selection?

A: The substitute part MIN02-002CC3R5D-F has 886 units in stock compared to 689 units of the original part. For new designs or production runs, the substitute provides superior supply chain security due to its Active product status and higher available inventory.
