The F380J476MMAAXE is a molded tantalum capacitor from the KYOCERA AVX F38 series, rated at 47 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 6.3 V working voltage. The 0603 (1608 Metric) case size and surface-mount package make it suitable for compact PCB layouts in portable or space-constrained electronics. Operating temperature spans -55°C to 105°C, covering industrial and some military-grade environments. The 1000-hour lifetime at 85°C is standard for tantalum capacitors; continuous operation near the upper temperature limit will reduce service life, so derating is advised for high-reliability designs.
This means the manufacturer will continue to support existing production for a limited window, but no new designs should specify this order code. For a BOM line already using this part, plan a transition to a recommended replacement before the end-of-life notice arrives. Because the part is NRND, standard distributor stock may be limited. Sourcing through independent distribution is the practical path for production runs or repair stock. We can source and quote this order code against your BOM quantity — confirm availability and current pricing at quote time.
The 0603 (1608 Metric) case measures 1.60 mm x 0.85 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm max. The manufacturer size code M corresponds to the standard EIA 0603 footprint. The ±20% tolerance is wide — for precision circuits, consider a tighter-tolerance alternative or derate the design margin.
