Yageo
Matches key specs with improved tolerance, TCR, and automotive qualification.
Find and compare substitutes for the FOJAN FRC0402J152TS, a 1.5kΩ, 5% tolerance, 0402 chip resistor. Analysis includes pin-compatible upgrades and parametric alternatives.
Several candidates have resistance values >5% different from the target, requiring circuit analysis.
All reviewed candidates share the same 0402 package.
Multiple vendors (Yageo, UNI-ROYAL, FOJAN) offer viable alternatives.
Direct replacement for FRC0402J152TS should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Upgrade to AC0402FR-071K5L for a direct fit with improved performance (tighter tolerance, better TCR, AEC-Q200).
