Additional Details

The F93 series from AVX, to which this capacitor belongs, is known for its robust construction and reliable performance. The 'F93' designation indicates the series, '1' might indicate a specific case size/style within the series. 'V' denotes a voltage rating of 35V, '474' represents a capacitance of 0.47uF (47 x 10^4 pF), 'K' signifies a capacitance tolerance of ±10%, 'A' is a case size code, and 'A' may specify the termination material or packaging details. Tantalum capacitors generally exhibit stable performance over a wide temperature range and are less prone to aging effects compared to electrolytic capacitors. The low ESR of this capacitor helps to minimize power dissipation and improve the efficiency of the circuit in which it is used. Surface mount technology (SMT) allows for automated assembly, reducing manufacturing costs and improving reliability. These capacitors are commonly used in consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and automotive applications.
