CD15FD161JO3

The CD15FD161JO3 is a silvered mica capacitor from Cornell Dubilier Electronics, part of the CD15 series of standard dipped mica capacitors. It offers a capacitance of 160 pF with ±5% tolerance and a rated voltage of 500 V DC. Mica dielectric provides excellent capacitance stability over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for precision timing and close-tolerance applications.

Electrical characteristics include a minimum dV/dt pulse capability of 100,000 V/µs and a dielectric strength tested at 200% of rated voltage. The operating temperature range spans -55°C to +125°C, ensuring reliability in demanding environments. The capacitor features low loss and high insulation resistance typical of silvered mica construction.

Mechanically, the capacitor is housed in a radial through-hole package with an epoxy case. Leads are copper clad steel with a nickel undercoat and 100% tin finish for solderability. Lead spacing is 5.90 mm, seated height 9.40 mm, and overall dimensions 11.70 mm x 4.80 mm. Compliance includes RoHS3 and REACH unaffected, with moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited).

Applications include timing circuits, oscillator circuits, RF filters, resonant circuits, and high-voltage pulse circuits where stable capacitance and low drift are critical. The CD15FD161JO3 is a reliable choice for designs requiring precise capacitance values in a compact radial package.
