Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for 0603WAJ0153T5E should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Prefer same 0603 footprint, 15kΩ value, equal or tighter tolerance, and verified voltage/temperature ratings.

Main risk

Equal 0.1W power leaves limited margin under the stated derating rule.
