What this F38 molded tantalum capacitor does in your circuit
The F381A475MMA is a 4.7 µF, 10 V rated molded tantalum capacitor in the 0603 (1608 Metric) case size from KYOCERA AVX's F38 series. Operating temperature spans -55°C to 105°C, covering most industrial and some automotive under-hood environments.
The F381A475MMA carries a Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND) status. This means KYOCERA AVX is not actively supporting new design-ins, though existing production may still be supplied for a period. For a new BOM line, a current-production F38-series alternative should be evaluated.
The 0603 case measures 1.60 mm x 0.85 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm max. The manufacturer size code is M.
