•T: Tantalum capacitors
•F: Film capacitors
•A: Aluminum electrolytic capacitors

MLCC Format (C Series)

code

C [Size] [Temp] [Voltage] [Value] [Tolerance] [Packaging]
|   |      |       |         |         |           |
|   |      |       |         |         |           +-- Packaging
|   |      |       |         |         +-- Tolerance (K=10%, M=20%)
|   |      |       |         +-- Capacitance value
|   |      |       +-- Voltage rating
|   |      +-- Temperature characteristic
|   +-- Case size (0402, 0603, 0805)
+-- MLCC prefix
