WR02X1502FAL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WR02X1502FAL is a 15 kOhm ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Walsin Technology Corporation in the 0201 (0603 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.05W (1/20W) power dissipation and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications align with the original component, enabling direct replacement in circuit applications without design modification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WR02X1502FAL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: 15 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.05W / 1/20W (exact match required)
• Package Format: 0201 (0603 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±200ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

The CR0201-20W-1502FT manufactured by Venkel meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the WR02X1502FAL and CR0201-20W-1502FT are active production components with identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts is based on availability, supply chain considerations, and procurement requirements.

The WR02X1502FAL (Walsin Technology Corporation) and CR0201-20W-1502FT (Venkel) are functionally interchangeable for circuit applications requiring a 15 kOhm ±1% thick film resistor in 0201 package format. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and operate within the specified temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

The maximum seated height differential (0.010" for WR02X1502FAL versus 0.012" for CR0201-20W-1502FT) does not affect PCB assembly compatibility for standard 0201 package applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CR0201-20W-1502FT be used as a direct replacement for the WR02X1502FAL?

A: Yes. The CR0201-20W-1502FT meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution. Both components share identical resistance value (15 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.05W), package format (0201), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1).

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The length and width dimensions are identical (0.024" L x 0.012" W / 0.60mm x 0.30mm). The maximum seated height differs slightly: WR02X1502FAL is 0.010" (0.26mm) while CR0201-20W-1502FT is 0.012" (0.30mm). This variance does not impact PCB assembly or circuit performance for standard 0201 applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the WR02X1502FAL and CR0201-20W-1502FT are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), making them suitable for applications with identical regulatory requirements.

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

A: Both components have a temperature coefficient of ±200ppm/°C, ensuring consistent resistance stability across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Are these parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both components are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging in the 0201 (0603 Metric) package format, enabling compatibility with automated assembly processes.
