A Philippine electronics manufacturer crossing a 1005 to 2012 RF chip inductor to Walsin should count names first. Walsin’s WCA, WCI, WQCW and WLCW families list 2,702 rows but only 1,542 distinct electrical rows; 688 of those carry two to four part numbers, 122 of them four, with identical export fields. None is on our 23 September 2026 shelf.
Venatech Limited, an authorised Walsin distributor in Hong Kong, holds the Walsin Technology (Walsin) inductor parametric export, file Walsin_Inductor_ALL.xlsx: 5,411 rows, 5,410 real part numbers once a QA test row is removed. This post is for a procurement or design engineer at a Philippine electronics manufacturer who wants Walsin candidates for an RF chip inductor with every difference stated. Every Walsin part number below is real, every count is ours, and the one news fact is dated and sourced (fetched 2 November 2026).
What did HSBC say about Philippine manufacturing?
Philstar reported on 27 October 2026 that HSBC senior ASEAN economist Aris Dacanay calls 2026 the first period of material, sustained manufacturing growth since 2018, helped by a peso weakened to about 64 per US dollar, with goods exports up about 14 percent year to date. The report says Philippine-made goods are more affordable after adjusting for exchange rates and inflation than those of most Asian economies except India, South Korea and Indonesia.
It also warns that a weaker peso raises the cost of imported raw materials and equipment, and notes high demand for imported capital goods amid data centre expansion. It gives no electronics-specific figure and says the Philippines participates less in AI-linked supply chains than some peers. We draw no conclusion about any Philippine company. We have no relationship with HSBC or the newspaper.

How many Walsin RF chip inductor rows are really the same part under several names?
We parsed all 2,702 rows of the WCA (622), WCI (720), WQCW (569) and WLCW (791) families in Walsin_Inductor_ALL.xlsx. They collapse to 1,542 distinct electrical rows, and 688 of them carry two to four part numbers: 338 carry two, 228 carry three and 122 carry four. We grouped on size, thickness, inductance, tolerance, Q minimum, self-resonant frequency, DC resistance and rated current, with currents and resistances normalised.
The 122 four-name rows sit at 1005 (87) and 3225 (35), and the 228 three-name rows at 1608 (113), 2012 (109) and 1005 (6). We have not seen this counted anywhere. Which names exist depends on the tolerance: at 1005 and 1 nH the plus or minus 0.1 nH and 0.2 nH rows exist only as WCA and WCI names, while the plus or minus 5 and 10 percent rows exist only as WLCW and WQCW names.
| Size and fields | Names for the one row | Match / mismatch |
|---|---|---|
| 1005, 10 nH plus or minus 10 percent, Q 21, 0.2 ohm, 480 mA | WCA1005CP10NK, WCI1005CP10NK, WLCW1005Z0K10NTB, WQCW1005Z0K10NTB |
Match on all export fields across four names |
| 1005, 10 nH plus or minus 2 percent, Q 21, 0.2 ohm, 480 mA | WCA1005CP10NG, WCI1005CP10NG, WLCW1005Z0G10NTB, WQCW1005Z0G10NTB |
Match across four names; mismatch with the row above on tolerance only |
| 1005, 56 nH plus or minus 10 percent, Q 22, 0.97 ohm, 100 mA | WCA1005CP56NK, WCI1005CP56NK, WQCW1005Z0K56NTP |
Match across three names; no WLCW name |
| 1005, 1 nH plus or minus 0.1 nH, Q 16, 0.045 ohm, 1.36 A | WCA1005CP1N0B, WCI1005CP1N0B |
Match across two names; mismatch: no WLCW or WQCW name at this tolerance |
| 1005, 1 nH plus or minus 10 percent, Q 16, 0.045 ohm, 1.36 A | WLCW1005Z0K1N0TB, WQCW1005Z0K1N0TB |
Match across two names; mismatch: no WCA or WCI name at this tolerance |
Your incumbent part goes in a sixth column on your own copy; we do not name one.
What does the export not tell you about these inductors?
The export prints 8 fields per inductor and the names agree on all 8 for 688 rows, but 0 of our 28 datasheets cover an inductor and none of the 2,702 rows is on our shelf. We hold no Walsin datasheet for the WCA, WCI, WQCW or WLCW families, so we cannot state a temperature range, a packaging quantity or a Q test frequency for any name.
The resonant-frequency column also changes scale between families without a unit: it reads 3.9 for a 10 nH WCA part and 10,000 for MCI parts at 0.3 nH, so a figure that appears to be in GHz and one that appears to be in MHz share a column. Do not compare the numbers across families without Walsin’s sheet. We do not say which name is preferred for new designs, and we do not guess what the WCA and WCI prefixes distinguish from the WQCW and WLCW prefixes.
Why buyers in Philippines choose Venatech
Buyers in the Philippines choose Venatech because we are an authorised Walsin Technology distributor working from Hong Kong, we supply small lots, and we show you every mismatch as well as the match. For this one inductor group we counted 2,702 rows down to 1,542 electrical rows and told you which 688 have more than one name. A buyer writing an approved vendor list can then name the electrical row, not just one of its names.
The VenaMatch cross-reference tool decodes 18 manufacturers’ part numbers and covers 800,000+ crossable parts, with every difference from your original stated. The BOM page takes up to 500 part numbers. We say what we do not hold: we hold neither ISO 9001 nor IATF 16949, and we hold no inductor datasheets. Lot and date-code traceability and a certificate of conformity per shipment are available on request. Ask, and we will tell you plainly what we can and cannot supply.
What will we not tell you about the Philippines?
Anything about Philippine customs, certification or import rules, the peso, or the outlook for manufacturing. We hold no office, entity or stock in the Philippines; our locations are Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Singapore and Jiangmen, with Chengdu in preparation. We state no duty rate, transit time or conformity requirement and give no legal or customs advice; confirm with your compliance team. We also make no statement about HSBC’s forecast or about any company’s results.
How Venatech helps
Paste the incumbent inductor number into the free cross-reference tool, which decodes 18 manufacturers’ part numbers across 800,000+ crossable parts and lists Walsin candidates with match and mismatch fields, or upload the list to the BOM checker, up to 500 part numbers. The Hong Kong ready-stock list is a dated snapshot, 23 September 2026, never live-synced; it holds none of the 2,702 rows above. Walsin is the only line we are authorised for; Stackpole and Viking are lines we supply. We work from Hong Kong, in small lots, and you can request a quote through the site. Worked example from our export: WCA1005CP10NK and WLCW1005Z0K10NTB agree on 10 nH, plus or minus 10 percent, 0.2 ohm and 480 mA. Our post on multilayer versus wirewound inductors covers the families, rated current versus saturation current explains the current fields, and the inductor range lists them. Qualification stays with you.
The short version
Count the names before you count the parts. Walsin’s WCA, WCI, WQCW and WLCW families are 1,542 electrical rows, not 2,702, and 688 of them carry two to four part numbers, 122 carry four, with identical export fields. None is on the 23 September 2026 shelf. Confirm against the datasheet and qualify in your own board.
Send us one RF inductor line from your bill of materials and we will return the Walsin candidates with every difference stated. Does your vendor list name the part by prefix or by its electrical row?

Frequently asked questions
What did HSBC say about Philippine manufacturing?
Philstar reported on 27 October 2026 that HSBC’s Aris Dacanay sees 2026 as the first material, sustained manufacturing growth since 2018, with goods exports up about 14 percent. It also warns a weak peso raises imported input costs. No electronics figure is given.
How many Walsin RF inductor rows are duplicates?
Of 2,702 rows in the WCA, WCI, WQCW and WLCW families, 1,542 are distinct electrical rows. Of those, 338 carry two part numbers, 228 carry three, 122 carry four, and 854 carry one.
Do the names for one row differ in any export field?
No. Size, thickness, inductance, tolerance, Q minimum, resonant frequency, resistance and current agree across the names after unit normalisation. The prefix and suffix differ, and we hold no datasheet to say whether packaging or test conditions differ.
Why does a name sometimes not exist at a given tolerance?
The families do not cover the same tolerances. At 1005 and 1 nanohenry the 0.1 and 0.2 nanohenry rows exist only as WCA and WCI names, while the 5 and 10 percent rows exist only as WLCW and WQCW names.
Are any of these inductors on your shelf?
None of the 2,702 rows is on our 23 September 2026 Hong Kong ready-stock snapshot, which is dated and not live. Check the ready-stock page, or ask us to quote a lot, which we can do in small quantities from Hong Kong.
Do you ship to the Philippines or state its import rules?
We ship from Hong Kong and state no duty, customs, certification or transit information for the Philippines. We hold no office or stock there and give no legal or customs advice; confirm with your compliance team. You can request a quote through the site.
