Five steps. Cross the incumbent part to a Walsin candidate, read the five ticked fields, state a
rough annual quantity, add the line to an RFQ, and receive a quotation carrying the orderable code,
the standard packing quantity and a delivery term. The code you search and the code you order are not
always the same string.
Venatech Limited, an authorised Walsin distributor in Hong Kong, publishes this from Walsin’s own parametric data and the datasheets it holds on file. Every part number below is real.
What are the steps from a cross result to a delivered order?
Cross, verify, quantify, request, order. The cross names a Walsin candidate and prints what matches.
Verification is yours: datasheet, thickness, termination, qualification grade. Quantity turns the
candidate into a commercial line. The RFQ puts it in front of a person. The order needs the code with
its packaging suffix, not the catalogue code.
The path has a handover in the middle rather than a checkout button. A manufacturer identifies; a
distributor supplies. Walsin Technology (Walsin) does not sell direct, so its cross-reference tool
correctly ends at identification — naming a compatible Walsin part is the whole of what a manufacturer
can responsibly do. Venatech Limited is the authorised distributor, so the same answer can carry one
step further, into a quantity, an RFQ line and a person.
What does the cross step actually produce?
A named candidate and an audit trail. VenaMatch asks whether you have one part or a list, asks the
product category, takes the part number, identifies the manufacturer from the number itself, decodes
the incumbent into case size, dielectric, capacitance, tolerance and voltage, then returns the closest
Walsin part with its series, its grade and a tick against each field.
The list route matters more than it looks. The first question offers Just one part or I have a
list, with helper text reading “A list can be a BOM extract, an EOL notice, or anything pasted from
a spreadsheet.” Those are the two documents that actually start this process in real work, and both
arrive as text somebody has to retype.
Every result also carries the standing disclaimer, verbatim: “Please verify before you commit. This
is a specification match against Walsin’s published catalogue, offered as a candidate for your
evaluation. It is not an approved substitution and we cannot assess how a part behaves in your
circuit. Check the datasheet, and qualify the part in your application, before production use.”
Why does the tool ask how many you need?
Because quantity is what makes a candidate quotable. After the match list VenaMatch asks “How many
do you need?” with helper text reading “A rough annual figure is fine — it is what gets you the
right price break.” A rough figure really is enough: the purpose is to band the line, not to commit
you.
Quantity also decides which practical constraints apply to your line, starting with standard packing
quantity. In Venatech’s stock snapshot of 23 September 2026, the packing quantity recorded against
0603B104K500CT is 4,000 pieces, and against the chip resistor WR06X1002FTL it is 5,000. An annual
figure tells us whether the line lands on one reel or on a schedule, and whether buffer stock is worth
discussing for a contracted account.
What happens when you press Add to RFQ?
The candidate becomes a line item and a person picks it up. Alongside Add to RFQ, the result
screen offers Cross another part, so a multi-line BOM accumulates rather than being restarted, and
a Talk to a person route for anything the screen cannot settle.
There is also a “Was this the part you needed? 👍 👎” control, which is how the match logic gets
corrected. The footer note on the page is explicit about the division: “Matched against Walsin’s published
catalogue. Every result states what matches and what does not — a specification match is a candidate
for your evaluation, not an approved substitution. For price, stock, lead time or anything about how a
part behaves in your circuit, a person here will answer.”
That sentence is the handover. Price, stock, lead time and circuit behaviour are things a tool should
not pretend to know. Design-in support covers part selection, cross-reference, qualification, FAE
assistance, AEC-Q200 support and mass production, so the RFQ line can be discussed at whichever of
those stages you are at.
Why is the code you searched not always the code you order?
Because the catalogue code and the order code are different strings on most MLCC lines. Walsin’s MLCC
parametric export omits the CT packaging suffix, so the exported part number is not orderable as it
stands. Venatech’s stock file keeps the two columns separate for exactly this reason.
In the snapshot of 23 September 2026, 865 of the 1,125 part numbers have an order code that is the
catalogue code plus a trailing CT, and every one of those 865 differs by exactly those two characters
and nothing else. The split follows the product line rather than the individual part.
| Product line in the snapshot | Part numbers | Order code carries CT |
Match / mismatch against catalogue code |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLCC | 732 | 731 | Mismatch — the order code is 2 characters longer on all but one line |
| MLCC (specialty) | 132 | 132 | Mismatch — every line |
| Chip resistor | 254 | 0 | Match — order code equals catalogue code on every line |
| Safety capacitor | 3 | 2 | Mismatch on 2 of 3 |
| Inductor | 2 | 0 | Match |
| Resistor array | 1 | 0 | Match |
| Other | 1 | 0 | Match |
| Total | 1,125 | 865 | 865 mismatches, 260 matches |
Unique to Venatech’s data. The
CTsuffix is not a per-part quirk, it is a product-line rule.
All 132 specialty MLCC lines and 731 of the 732 MLCC lines in the 23 September 2026 snapshot carry
it. None of the 254 chip resistor lines do. That is why0603B104K500is ordered as
0603B104K500CTwhileWR06X1002FTLis ordered under the code it is catalogued under. This split
is not published anywhere; it comes from reconciling our own order codes against Walsin’s export.
Which of the crossed candidates might already be in Hong Kong?
Some of them, and the answer changes. A 0603 / X7R / 100 nF / 50 V specification crosses to 13 Walsin
part numbers in our extract, and three of the 13 appear in the 23 September 2026 snapshot. Which three
is a fact about that date and nothing more.
| Walsin catalogue code | Series | Order code in the snapshot | Packing quantity | In the 23 Sept 2026 snapshot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
0603B104K500 |
General Purpose, X7R, ±10% | 0603B104K500CT |

Read the table as a worked example, not as an availability statement. Stock is a snapshot dated
23 September 2026. Quote part-number counts from it, never piece counts, and never treat a line as
permanent. The snapshot holds 1,125 part numbers; 949 of them appear in the Walsin parametric extracts
we hold, so it is a stock list rather than a Walsin-only list. Ask for the current position before you
plan a build around it.
What delivery terms can the quotation be written on?
DDP, DAP or EXW, arranged to suit your terms and destination. That choice belongs on the quotation
rather than on a web page, because it changes who arranges carriage and who clears the goods, and
those are decisions your logistics function usually already has a policy on.
Venatech Limited is headquartered in Hong Kong, established there in 2011, with a Shenzhen entity for
mainland China operations and warehousing, a Singapore entity as the ASEAN hub, and a Jiangmen factory
for own-brand manufacturing. Where a line is contracted, buffer stock on long lead-time part numbers
can be discussed in the same quotation. We do not publish transit times, freight costs or duty
treatment: those are specific to your shipment.
What arrives with the parts?
Original manufacturer packaging, sealed and unbroken, with full lot and date code traceability and a
Certificate of Conformity available on request. Venatech sources directly from the manufacturer through
authorised distribution only — no grey market, no unauthorised channels — which is what makes that
traceability chain complete rather than partial.
Date codes are recorded per line in the stock file as well as on the packaging: 683 of the 1,125 rows
in the 23 September 2026 snapshot carry one. If incoming inspection needs a date code range before the
purchase order is raised, ask for it on the quotation.
That is the whole path. The cross names the candidate, the five ticks tell you what was compared, the
mismatch list tells you what was not, the quantity makes it quotable, the order code makes it
purchasable, and the traceability makes it defensible when somebody asks in twelve months where the
part came from.
FAQ
How do I request a quote for passive components?
Cross the incumbent part or paste the BOM extract, read the match and mismatch list, state a rough annual quantity, then add the line to an RFQ. A person answers on price, stock, lead time and delivery terms. The quotation carries the orderable code and the standard packing quantity for each line.
Why does a cross tool ask how many I need?
Because quantity is what turns a specification match into a quotable line. VenaMatch asks “How many do you need?” with the note that a rough annual figure is fine, since that is what gets you to the right price break. The figure also decides whether packing quantity and buffer stock are worth discussing.
What is the difference between a catalogue code and an order code?
The catalogue code is the part number as published in the parametric data. The order code is what a purchase order needs. On Walsin MLCC the two differ by a trailing CT packaging suffix, which the parametric export omits, so an exported MLCC part number is not orderable as it stands.
How many Walsin part numbers carry the CT suffix on an order?
In Venatech’s stock snapshot of 23 September 2026, 865 of 1,125 order codes are the catalogue code plus a trailing CT. That covers 731 of the 732 MLCC lines, all 132 specialty MLCC lines and two of the three safety capacitor lines. None of the 254 chip resistor lines carry it.
Can I send a whole BOM rather than one part at a time?
Yes. The first question offers a list option, with helper text saying a list can be a BOM extract, an EOL notice, or anything pasted from a spreadsheet. The cross-reference tool also takes an Excel or CSV upload directly, reading the first column as the part number, and the BOM basket accepts a file with your RFQ. Quotation itself still comes from a person.
What delivery terms does Venatech quote on?
DDP, DAP or EXW, arranged to suit your terms and destination, stated on the quotation rather than assumed. Venatech Limited is headquartered in Hong Kong with entities in Shenzhen and Singapore and a factory in Jiangmen, Guangdong. Transit times and freight treatment belong on the quotation for your specific shipment.
What documentation comes with the parts?
Original manufacturer packaging, sealed and unbroken, full lot and date code traceability, and a Certificate of Conformity available on request. Parts are sourced directly from the manufacturer through authorised distribution only. 683 of the 1,125 rows in the 23 September 2026 snapshot carry a recorded date code.
Is stock guaranteed once a cross result names a part?
No. A cross result is a specification match against a published catalogue and says nothing about availability. Stock is a snapshot that moves, quoted as part-number counts rather than piece counts. Ask for the current position, and for buffer stock on a long lead-time line if the account is contracted.
