F980J475MMA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The F980J475MMA is a 4.7 µF molded tantalum capacitor rated at 6.3 V in 0603 (1608 Metric) surface mount package, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX. This component is classified as Not For New Designs, indicating it has been superseded in the manufacturer's product line. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain flexibility, and access components with active product status and improved specifications where applicable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the F980J475MMA is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Capacitance: 4.7 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 6.3 V (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric) (exact match required)
• Type: Molded Tantalum (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

All substitute parts listed below meet these mandatory criteria. Variations in tolerance (±10% vs ±20%), ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level), and product status are secondary parameters that may differ between the main part and substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the F980J475MMA across mandatory parameters: capacitance, voltage rating, package type, and operating temperature range. All substitutes carry ROHS3 compliance and active product status.

TACL475K006X offers improved tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%) while maintaining identical ESR and package dimensions. This part is suitable for applications requiring tighter capacitance tolerance.

TACL475M006RTA and TACL475M006X provide direct functional equivalence with identical tolerance and ESR specifications. Both maintain active product status and improved MSL rating (1 versus 3).

TCM0J475M8R is the manufacturer-recommended substitute from KYOCERA AVX. It maintains identical package height (0.035" / 0.90mm) and operating temperature range, with slightly elevated ESR (9 Ohm versus 7.5 Ohm). This part offers the highest inventory availability.

TMCJ0J475MTRF is a cross-manufacturer substitute from Vishay Sprague. It maintains identical package height and operating temperature range, with ESR of 10 Ohm @ 100kHz. This part provides the largest inventory stock (14277 Pcs).

For new designs, KYOCERA AVX active-status parts (TACL or TCM series) are preferred over the obsolete F980J475MMA. For existing designs requiring direct replacement, TCM0J475M8R is the manufacturer-recommended option.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TACL475K006X replace F980J475MMA in all applications?

A: TACL475K006X meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. The improved tolerance specification (±10%) provides tighter capacitance control. Verify that your circuit design does not depend on the ±20% tolerance specification of the original part.

Q: What is the difference between TACL475M006RTA and TACL475M006X?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. TACL475M006RTA is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while TACL475M006X packaging is not specified. Select based on your assembly process requirements.

Q: Why does TCM0J475M8R have higher ESR than the original F980J475MMA?

A: ESR variation (9 Ohm versus 7.5 Ohm) is within acceptable range for general-purpose tantalum capacitor applications. Verify ESR requirements for your specific circuit, particularly in high-frequency or low-impedance applications.

Q: Is TMCJ0J475MTRF from Vishay Sprague compatible with KYOCERA AVX F980J475MMA?

A: Yes. TMCJ0J475MTRF meets all mandatory parameters: 4.7 µF capacitance, 6.3 V rating, 0603 package, molded tantalum type, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. ESR is specified at 10 Ohm @ 100kHz. Verify ESR performance requirements for your application.

Q: What does MSL rating mean, and why do substitutes have MSL 1 instead of MSL 3?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) indicates moisture absorption characteristics. MSL 1 (Unlimited) provides superior moisture resistance compared to MSL 3 (168 Hours). Substitutes with MSL 1 offer improved reliability in humid storage and assembly environments.

Q: Can I use these substitutes in existing PCB designs without layout changes?

A: All substitute parts maintain identical 0603 (1608 Metric) package dimensions and surface mount footprint. TACL series parts have maximum seated height of 0.039" (1.00mm) versus 0.035" (0.90mm) for the original part. Verify PCB clearance if height-constrained applications exist.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability?

A: TMCJ0J475MTRF from Vishay Sprague currently shows the highest inventory (14277 Pcs). TCM0J475M8R from KYOCERA AVX offers strong availability (8602 Pcs) and is the manufacturer-recommended substitute.
