Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MFS1/2DCT52R1501F is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.5 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W / 1/2W (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Package: Axial through-hole (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The SFR16S0001501FR500 meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MFS1/2DCT52R1501F and SFR16S0001501FR500 are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability and lead time requirements
• PCB layout constraints, as the SFR16S0001501FR500 has smaller physical dimensions (1.90mm diameter vs. 2.30mm diameter)
• Inventory levels: SFR16S0001501FR500 has significantly higher stock availability (29,899 units vs. 639 units)
• Supplier preference and established qualification history within your organization

Both parts satisfy identical electrical specifications and environmental operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SFR16S0001501FR500 be used as a direct replacement for MFS1/2DCT52R1501F?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and functionally equivalent with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. Physical dimensions differ, which may affect PCB layout considerations.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What is the primary consideration when selecting between these substitute parts?

A: Physical dimensions and PCB layout compatibility. The SFR16S0001501FR500 is smaller and has higher inventory availability. Verify that the smaller axial package dimensions (1.90mm diameter x 4.60mm length) fit your circuit board layout requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet automotive specifications?

A: The MFS1/2DCT52R1501F carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The SFR16S0001501FR500 does not list automotive features in the provided specifications. Confirm automotive compliance requirements with your design specifications before substitution.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient significance for these resistors?

A: Both parts have a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C, meaning resistance value changes by a maximum of 0.01% per degree Celsius across the -55°C to 155°C operating range. This specification is identical for both parts.
