Murata MLCC Alternative in Singapore: 131 Walsin 0402 MLCC on the Ready Stock List of Walsin’s Authorised Distributor in Hong Kong

A Murata MLCC alternative for a Singapore line can come from two places: a Walsin cross, or the original part sourced on request. Our Hong Kong ready stock list as at 9 November 2026 carries 131 Walsin general-purpose 0402 MLCC part numbers. Venatech is the authorised Walsin distributor in Hong Kong.

Venatech Limited, an authorised Walsin distributor in Hong Kong, wrote this for a buyer or engineer in Singapore who has an 0402 capacitor from Murata, Samsung, Yageo or TDK on the BOM and cannot get it on time from the usual channel. Walsin Technology (Walsin) is the line we are authorised for. Through our supplier network in Hong Kong we also source parts from most passive-component brands on request, including urgent spot buys when a line is short of parts; Walsin comes through our authorised channel. We counted every figure below on 13 November 2026, from our ready stock list as at 9 November 2026 (1,174 distinct Walsin part numbers) matched against our MLCC export, Venatech_MLCC_Upload_01.xlsx to Venatech_MLCC_Upload_08.xlsx. Walsin’s datasheet for each series gives the thickness and DC-bias detail a stock list leaves out.

How did Singapore’s electronics output move in September 2026?

Singapore’s electronics cluster grew 5.7 percent year on year in September 2026, according to Trading Economics on 26 October 2026, after 28.3 percent in August. The same report put total manufacturing output 3.4 percent higher than a year earlier, with semiconductors up 1.9 percent and infocomms and consumer electronics up 29 percent.

Those are the published figures, not ours. A cluster still growing on a high base means sustained builds of boards for chips, test equipment, networking and consumer products, and every one of those boards carries hundreds of 0402 decoupling and timing capacitors. When one of them is late from the usual channel, the build waits for it. The question for the buyer is whether to cross the line or chase the original, and both are routes we handle.

Which Walsin 0402 MLCC are on the Hong Kong ready stock list?

We counted 131 Walsin general-purpose 0402 MLCC part numbers on our ready stock list as at 9 November 2026. They split into 67 C0G/NP0, 46 X7R, 16 X5R and 2 X6S parts; another 27 sit in Walsin’s RF and high-Q series and 1 in soft termination, so 159 0402 MLCC lines in all.

Dielectric (0402, general purpose)	Lines on the list	Capacitance span on the list	Example part	Match / mismatch with a 100 nF, X7R, 16 V, 0402 brief
C0G/NP0	67	0.1 pF to 1,000 pF	0402N101J500	Mismatch on dielectric and value
X7R	46	150 pF to 1 uF	0402B104K160	Match
X5R	16	100 nF to 22 uF	0402X104K160	Mismatch on dielectric (X5R, 85 C)
X6S	2	220 nF and 1 uF	0402S224K6R3	Mismatch on dielectric and voltage

We list part numbers, not quantities: the ready stock list is a dated snapshot, not live-synced, and we confirm availability, date code and lead time on each quote. Our post on the ready stock MLCC shelf by case size and series shows the other sizes.

Which Walsin part crosses a Murata, Samsung, Yageo or TDK 0402 brief?

We checked eight common 0402 briefs against the 131 lines, and seven return a Walsin part from the ready stock list. We write each brief as a specification, because the specification, not the other maker’s part number, is what decides a cross: case size, dielectric, capacitance, tolerance and rated voltage.

Fill in your incumbent part in the last column, then confirm thickness and DC-bias behaviour on Walsin’s datasheet before you approve. High-value X5R parts in 0402 are often taller than the 0.5 mm a placement program expects. Our guide on how to cross-reference an MLCC walks the five fields one by one.

When should a Singapore buyer source the original part instead of crossing?

We see three cases in which the original part, not a cross, is the right request: a customer-controlled approved vendor list, an automotive or medical file that names the part, and a build that ships before a cross could be qualified. In those cases we source the Murata, Samsung, Yageo or TDK part through our supplier network in Hong Kong and state the date code and origin on the quote.

We are not authorised or franchised for those brands; Walsin is the line we are authorised for. That is why a cross to Walsin is the route with the cleanest paperwork when your customer allows it, and why a sourced original comes with the documentation the supplier gives us and nothing we cannot verify. Our post on when not to cross covers the cases where you keep the original.

What should a Murata MLCC alternative request include?

Five fields and two facts make a request we can answer in one pass. Send case size, dielectric, capacitance, tolerance and rated voltage, plus the quantity the line needs and the date the line stops; add the incumbent part number if you want us to quote the original as well.

• Size and dielectric decide the cross; value, tolerance and voltage confirm it.
• Thickness matters for 1 uF and above in 0402; quote the maximum height your line allows.
• Say whether your customer accepts a cross. If not, we quote the original only.
• Upload the whole BOM if more than one line is at risk: we cross the lines we can and quote the rest.

How Venatech helps: what can we cross or source for a Singapore line?

How Venatech helps: we cross the line to Walsin, quote from the ready stock list where the part is on it, and source the original or a Walsin part through our authorised channel where it is not. Venatech is the authorised Walsin distributor in Hong Kong; VenaMatch decodes 18 manufacturers’ part numbers and crosses 800,000+ parts to Walsin, marking each field as match or mismatch.

Paste the incumbent part into the cross-reference tool, upload a BOM, or send the request-a-quote form on the site. Worked example from our list as at 9 November 2026: a 100 nF, X7R, 16 V, 0402 brief returns 0402B104K160. The MLCC range lists every Walsin family. We serve from Hong Kong in small lots and quote fast. We give no price, lead-time, stock or delivery guarantee; we confirm availability, date code and lead time on each quote.

The short version

• Singapore’s electronics output grew 5.7 percent year on year in September 2026, per Trading Economics on 26 October 2026.
• Our Hong Kong ready stock list as at 9 November 2026 carries 131 Walsin general-purpose 0402 MLCC, 159 in all with RF, high-Q and soft-termination lines.
• Seven of eight common 0402 briefs return a Walsin part on the list; the eighth is quoted through our authorised Walsin channel.
• When your customer will not accept a cross, we source the original Murata, Samsung, Yageo or TDK part on request.

Send us the 0402 line that is holding your build, and we will return the Walsin cross and a quote for the original. Which is it: a cross your customer accepts, or the part on the drawing?
