Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MF1/4DC1502F are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching:

Parametric Equivalent Classification: Parts that maintain identical electrical specifications (15 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, metal film composition, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -55°C to 155°C operating range) and identical axial package geometry qualify as parametric equivalents. The primary distinction is packaging format (bulk versus cut tape).

Similar Classification: Parts that maintain all critical electrical parameters and axial package type but may include additional features (such as flame retardant coating) or minor dimensional variations within acceptable mechanical tolerances qualify as similar substitutes.

Key Parameters for Substitution Eligibility:

• Resistance value: 15 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W
• Composition: Metal Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature: -55°C to 155°C
• Package: Axial Through-Hole
• Compliance: ROHS3, REACH Unaffected

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MF1/4DCT52R1502F (Parametric Equivalent): This part is the direct parametric equivalent to the MF1/4DC1502F. Both parts are manufactured by KOA Speer Electronics, Inc., share identical electrical specifications, and maintain the same axial package dimensions. The sole distinction is packaging format: MF1/4DCT52R1502F is supplied in cut tape format rather than bulk. This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications where cut tape packaging is acceptable. Both parts maintain active production status and full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements.

RNF14FTD15K0 (Similar): This Stackpole Electronics Inc. part maintains all critical electrical parameters and axial package configuration. Dimensional variation is minimal (0.093" diameter versus 0.091", and 0.250" length versus 0.248"), remaining within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard through-hole PCB applications. The RNF14FTD15K0 includes flame retardant coating and safety features as additional characteristics. This part is suitable for substitution in applications where the additional flame retardant properties are beneficial or neutral. Both parts maintain active production status and full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MF1/4DCT52R1502F be used as a direct replacement for MF1/4DC1502F?

A: Yes. MF1/4DCT52R1502F is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications (15 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, metal film, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C) and identical axial package dimensions. The difference is packaging format: cut tape versus bulk. Both parts are manufactured by KOA Speer Electronics, Inc., and maintain identical compliance certifications.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between MF1/4DC1502F and RNF14FTD15K0?

A: MF1/4DC1502F measures 0.091" diameter × 0.248" length (2.30mm × 6.30mm). RNF14FTD15K0 measures 0.093" diameter × 0.250" length (2.35mm × 6.35mm). These variations are within standard mechanical tolerances for axial through-hole resistors and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility for typical applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts automotive-qualified?

A: MF1/4DC1502F and MF1/4DCT52R1502F both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. RNF14FTD15K0 is manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc. and includes flame retardant coating and safety features; automotive qualification status for this part should be confirmed against specific application requirements.

Q: Do all parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All three parts (MF1/4DC1502F, MF1/4DCT52R1502F, and RNF14FTD15K0) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference between bulk and cut tape packaging?

A: Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or small-quantity applications. Cut tape packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Both formats contain the same component; the selection depends on assembly process requirements.
