EMS board components for the Philippines, including Cebu, rest on the 0402 resistor: Walsin Technology (Walsin) lists 799 general-purpose values at plus or minus 1 percent, covering all 480 E96 steps from 10 ohm to 976 kilohm. Our Hong Kong shelf, as at 23 September 2026, holds 53 of the 799, and not the 10 kilohm value.
Venatech Limited, an authorised Walsin distributor in Hong Kong, wrote this from the Walsin chip-resistor export (234,815 rows, 234,401 distinct part numbers) and our stock list as at 23 September 2026. It is for a buyer or engineer at an electronics manufacturing services (EMS) plant in the Philippines, for example in the Mactan economic zones around Cebu, who buys 0402 resistors by the reel. Every part number is real and every count is ours. The market statements name their sources and the day we fetched them, 10 November 2026.
What did the Philippines report about electronics exports and Mactan in 2026?
It reported scale nationally and growth locally. According to Manila Bulletin (8 April 2026), the trade department projects electronics exports to more than double to 110 billion US dollars by 2030, after 45.96 billion US dollars in 2025, which was more than half of merchandise exports; the industry body SEIPI projects growth of 5 percent in 2026, above 50 billion US dollars.
For Cebu, SunStar reported on 16 April 2026 that the economic-zone authority PEZA had approved two Japanese firms, Oakwave and Inventory Management Services, to begin operating in the Mactan zones, expecting around 1,000 jobs, with an extra 20 hectares planned near Mactan-Cebu airport and a proposed 50-hectare reclamation for the first zone. The article does not say what either firm makes, so we draw no link to any part number. It also reports that a Taiwanese apparel plant in the second zone closed in March 2026, putting 580 workers out of work. Those are the publishers’ figures, not ours.
How complete is the Walsin 0402 plus or minus 1 percent general-purpose resistor line?
Complete on the standard series, and wider than it. We parsed the Walsin general-purpose thick-film series at 0402 and counted 969 distinct part numbers, 799 of them at plus or minus 1 percent, 169 at plus or minus 5 percent and 1 jumper; the 799 include all 480 E96 steps from 10 ohm to 976 kilohm, 114 values in each decade from 1 ohm to 9.76 megohm.
We checked every E96 step in five decades, 96 each, and found none missing. One more finding, which we have not seen counted anywhere: 115 of the 799 part numbers, every value at 10 ohm and below, carry a temperature coefficient printed as minus 200 to plus 400 ppm, not the 100 ppm limit on the other 684. A 10 ohm part is therefore not a 100 ppm part. Our post on tolerance, TCR and dielectric codes decoded explains the code, and the chip resistor range lists the families.
Which Walsin parts cross a 10 kilohm, 0402, plus or minus 1 percent brief, and what differs?
One matches, and codes that look alike do not. We filtered the series for 0402, 10 kilohm and plus or minus 1 percent: exactly 1 part number, WR04X1002FTL, matches a 1/16 W, 100 ppm brief, and it is not on the shelf; the four shelf parts nearest in code or value each differ by value.
The reader’s incumbent goes in the last column.
| Walsin part | Value, tolerance, TCR, power | On shelf 23 Sep 2026 | Match / mismatch against 10 kilohm, 0402, plus or minus 1%, 1/16 W, 100 ppm | Your incumbent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
WR04X1002FTL |
10 kilohm, plus or minus 1%, 100 ppm, 1/16 W | No | Match on every export field | |
WR04X1072FTL |
10.7 kilohm, plus or minus 1%, 100 ppm, 1/16 W | Yes | Mismatch: value is 10.7 kilohm, the next E96 step | |
WR04X1302FTL |
13 kilohm, plus or minus 1%, 100 ppm, 1/16 W | Yes | Mismatch: value is 13 kilohm | |
WR04X1003FTL |
100 kilohm, plus or minus 1%, 100 ppm, 1/16 W | Yes | Mismatch: value is 100 kilohm, ten times higher | |
WR04X10R0FTL |
10 ohm, plus or minus 1%, minus 200 to plus 400 ppm, 1/16 W | Yes | Mismatch: value is 10 ohm and the TCR band is wider; the code is easy to misread as 10 kilohm |
A match in the table is a match on the export fields, no more. Confirm against both datasheets and qualify in your own circuit. Our post on chip resistor power rating by case size explains why the 1/16 W figure matters at 0402.
What does the Hong Kong shelf hold in 0402 resistors?
53 of the 799 values, 6.6 percent. Our stock list as at 23 September 2026 holds 1,125 distinct part numbers; 53 are 0402 general-purpose resistors at plus or minus 1 percent, of which 40 sit on E24 values and 13 are E96-only steps such as 22.1, 33.2 and 49.9 ohm and 2.21, 4.02, 8.06 and 10.7 kilohm.
By decade the shelf holds 0 values from 1 to 9.76 ohm, 8 from 10 to 97.6 ohm, 7 from 100 to 976 ohm, 10 from 1 to 9.76 kilohm, 17 from 10 to 97.6 kilohm, 7 from 100 to 976 kilohm and 4 from 1 to 9.76 megohm. The 10 kilohm value sits in the fullest decade, 17 values, yet is not itself on the shelf. Any other value is a factory order, requested through the site. The ready stock list is a dated snapshot, never live-synced, and we quote part-number counts, never piece counts.
What will we not tell you about Cebu electronics manufacturing?
Anything about a plant, a customer or a line. We hold 28 Walsin datasheets, 451 pages, of which 2 cover chip resistors, WR and MR; the WR sheet is ASC_WR_V24, dated September 2016, so we say plainly that it is ten years old.
We make no claim about what any Cebu plant buys or that any part suits a particular product. We hold no ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 certificate. We hold no office, entity or stock in the Philippines; our locations are Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Singapore and Jiangmen, with Chengdu in preparation. We give no legal, customs or conformity advice, including on economic-zone import rules; confirm with your compliance team. Qualification stays with you.
How can Venatech help a Cebu EMS buyer?
By checking a whole BOM at once. Venatech Limited is an authorised Walsin distributor in Hong Kong, and our VenaMatch tool decodes 18 manufacturers’ part numbers and covers 800,000+ crossable parts, so a resistor line from a customer’s bill of materials returns Walsin candidates with each difference stated.
- Cross-reference. Paste up to 500 part numbers, or an Excel or CSV file, into the free cross-reference tool.
- BOM check. Upload the customer BOM to /bom/ and request a quote.
- Ready stock. The ready-stock list is a Hong Kong snapshot dated 23 September 2026, not live.
- Service. Hong Kong-based, small lots welcome, and help by hand when the tool returns no clean candidate. Walsin is the only line we are authorised for; Stackpole and Viking are lines we supply.
Worked example from our own export: a 10 kilohm, 0402, plus or minus 1 percent, 1/16 W line maps to 1 exact part, WR04X1002FTL, not on the shelf, with the nearest shelf values at 10.7 and 13 kilohm. Qualification stays with you.
The short version
For a Philippine EMS buyer, Walsin’s 0402 general-purpose line has 799 values at plus or minus 1 percent and every E96 step from 10 ohm to 976 kilohm; the 115 values at 10 ohm and below carry a wider TCR band; and the Hong Kong shelf holds 53 of the 799, not including 10 kilohm.
Send us one 0402 resistor line from a Cebu BOM, with the tolerance and TCR you can accept, and we will return the Walsin parts with every difference stated. If a customer’s BOM prints only 10K, do you know it is not 10R?

Manila Bulletin reported on 8 April 2026 that electronics exports were 45.96 billion US dollars in 2025, more than half of merchandise exports, and that the trade department projects 110 billion US dollars by 2030. These are the publisher’s figures, not ours.
What did PEZA approve in Mactan, Cebu in 2026?
SunStar reported on 16 April 2026 that PEZA approved two Japanese firms, Oakwave and Inventory Management Services, to start in the Mactan zones, with around 1,000 jobs expected. The article does not say what they make. We have no relationship with either firm.
How many Walsin 0402 resistors are plus or minus 1 percent?
We counted 799 distinct part numbers at plus or minus 1 percent in the 0402 general-purpose series, out of 969, with 169 at plus or minus 5 percent and 1 jumper. They cover all 480 E96 steps from 10 ohm to 976 kilohm.
Is a Walsin 10 ohm 0402 resistor a 100 ppm part?
No. We found that all 115 plus or minus 1 percent values at 10 ohm and below, such as WR04X10R0FTL, print a temperature coefficient of minus 200 to plus 400 ppm, while the other 684 carry a 100 ppm limit. Check the datasheet.
Which Walsin part matches a 10 kilohm, 0402, plus or minus 1 percent resistor?
WR04X1002FTL matches on every export field: 10 kilohm, plus or minus 1 percent, 1/16 W and 100 ppm. It is not on our shelf as at 23 September 2026. Qualify in your own circuit.
