Electrical Compatibility: All substitute parts maintain identical resistance value (15 kOhms) and power rating (1W), ensuring functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: All substitute parts share the same axial package configuration and physical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L), allowing direct board-level replacement without layout modifications.

Material & Construction: All parts utilize metal film composition with flame retardant coating and moisture resistance, maintaining environmental performance characteristics.

Regulatory Compliance: All parts meet ROHS3 compliance and operate within the specified temperature range (-55°C to 175°C).

Tolerance Enhancement: Substitute parts CMF6015K000FHEK and CMF6015K000FKEK offer improved tolerance specifications (±1% versus ±2%), providing tighter resistance accuracy for precision applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CMF6015K000GKEA is the primary specification part, suitable for applications where ±2% tolerance meets circuit requirements and tape & reel packaging is preferred for automated assembly processes.

CMF6015K000FHEK provides tolerance upgrade to ±1% with reduced temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C), offering improved stability for precision analog circuits. This part is supplied in bulk packaging and is REACH Unaffected.

CMF6015K000FKEK provides tolerance upgrade to ±1% while maintaining the original temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C). This part is supplied in bulk packaging and is REACH Unaffected.

All three parts maintain active production status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between substitute parts depends on tolerance requirements, temperature stability needs, and packaging format compatibility with assembly processes.
