Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MCS0402UD1502BE100 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 15 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±0.1%
• Power rating: 0.063W (1/16W)
• Package format: 0402 (1005 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Automotive compliance: AEC-Q200
• Environmental features: Anti-sulfur, moisture resistant
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3

The MCS0402MD1502BE100 meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components precision resistor family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MCS0402UD1502BE100 and MCS0402MD1502BE100 are active products from Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components with full ROHS3 compliance and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection between these equivalents should be based on:

• Availability and lead time requirements
• Packaging and reel specifications for production processes
• Seated height tolerance: MCS0402MD1502BE100 has a maximum seated height of 0.015" (0.37mm) compared to 0.014" (0.35mm) for MCS0402UD1502BE100, which may be relevant for space-constrained PCB layouts
• Supply chain continuity and inventory levels

Both parts deliver identical electrical performance and environmental compliance for automotive and industrial applications requiring precision 15 kOhms resistors with ±0.1% tolerance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MCS0402MD1502BE100 be used as a direct replacement for MCS0402UD1502BE100?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and package format. The maximum seated height differs by 0.001" (0.02mm), which is negligible for most applications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical certifications: AEC-Q200 automotive rating, ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, and REACH unaffected status.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for 0402 precision resistors?

A: Substitution requires matching resistance value, tolerance grade, power rating, package format, composition type, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, and automotive/environmental certifications. Deviations in any of these parameters disqualify a part as a direct equivalent.

Q: Does the 0.001" height difference affect PCB assembly?

A: The seated height difference between these parts (0.014" vs 0.015" maximum) is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect component placement or soldering processes for 0402 packages.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both MCS0402UD1502BE100 and MCS0402MD1502BE100 meet AEC-Q200 automotive qualification standards and feature anti-sulfur, moisture-resistant thin film construction for demanding automotive environments.
