The F380J107MSALZTH1: This is a molded tantalum capacitor from the F38 series, rated 100 µF with ±20% tolerance at 6.3 V DC. The 0805 footprint (2.00 mm × 1.25 mm) packs a lot of capacitance for the board area — handy when you need bulk decoupling near a processor or a power module but the real estate is tight. The 150 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz keeps ripple heating manageable in switching-regulator output stages.
Temperature range and lifetime — can it handle the heat?
The lifetime spec is 1000 hours at 85°C — that is the endurance test condition, not the application life. In practice, running cooler than 85°C extends life significantly.
Active production — still a current BOM line
You can design it in without worrying about a last-time-buy window.
