Passive Component Sourcing for Japan: JEITA Shows 750,219 Million Yen of Passive Components Produced in January to June 2026, 97.3 Percent of the Year Before, and a 10 Kilohm 1 Percent 0201 Resistor Line Has 16 Walsin Part Numbers in 5 Series Names, 1 on the Hong Kong Shelf

Passive component sourcing for Japan starts with a dependable second source at the smallest sizes, and the Walsin Technology (Walsin) 10 kilohm, 1 percent, 0201 chip resistor line has 16 part numbers in 5 series names, 1 on our shelf. JEITA’s table shows 750,219 million yen of passive components produced from January to June 2026.


Venatech Limited, an authorised Walsin distributor in Hong Kong, wrote this for a design or sourcing engineer at a Japanese maker of modules, wearables or industrial equipment who is crossing a 0201 thick-film resistor. The market statement names its source and the day we fetched it, 10 November 2026. The counts come from the Walsin chip resistor export (234,815 rows, 234,401 distinct part numbers) and our stock list as at 23 September 2026. We do not know your drift or surge requirement. Every part number is real.

What does JEITA’s June 2026 table show for Japan’s passive components?

It shows a year-to-date total just under last year’s. According to the JEITA statistics page for June 2026, which cites METI data, Japanese production of passive components was 138,212 million yen in June and 750,219 million yen for January to June 2026, which the table gives as 97.3 percent of the same period in 2025.

The page states the June figure as 103.2 percent of June 2025. These are the association’s figures, not ours, and the table does not break capacitors and resistors out separately. The conclusion we draw is narrow: a buyer facing a flat to slightly lower domestic output has reason to keep a second source for the smallest sizes on file. We have no relationship with any Japanese maker, and we say nothing about what any of them buys.

Which Walsin 0201 resistors match a 10 kilohm, plus or minus 1 percent brief, and what differs?

Sixteen part numbers, and they differ in drift, series, grade and reel. We filtered the Walsin chip resistor export for 0201, 10 kilohm, plus or minus 1 percent and found 16 distinct part numbers in 5 series names, all rated 1/20 W; 14 print a temperature coefficient of plus or minus 200 ppm or better, 1 prints 100 ppm and 1 prints 50 ppm.

The last column is for your incumbent.

Walsin part Description On shelf 23 Sep 2026 Match / mismatch with a 10 kilohm, 1 percent, 0201 brief Your incumbent
WR02X1002FAL General Purpose thick film, 0201, 10 kilohm, plus or minus 1 percent, 1/20 W, TCR within plus or minus 200 ppm, 7 inch reel of 15,000 Yes Match on size, value, tolerance and power
WR02X1002FTL General Purpose thick film, 0201, same values, 7 inch reel of 10,000 No Match on the electrical fields; mismatch: reel quantity
WK02K1002FAL High Precision thick film TC50, 0201, 10 kilohm, plus or minus 1 percent, 1/20 W, TCR within plus or minus 50 ppm No Match on the electrical fields; mismatch: drift is tighter and the series is precision
MR02X1002FAL General Purpose thick film (Automotive), 0201, 10 kilohm, plus or minus 1 percent, 1/20 W, TCR within plus or minus 100 ppm No Match on value, tolerance and power; mismatch: automotive series, tighter drift
WR02X1002FALV General Purpose anti-sulfuration (Automotive), 0201, same values No Match on the electrical fields; mismatch: anti-sulfuration termination
WR02X1002FAR General Purpose thick film LF 100ppm, 0201, same values; the TCR cell reads within plus or minus 200 ppm No Match on the electrical fields; mismatch: the series name says 100 ppm, the export cell says 200

A match in the table is a match on export fields, no more. Confirm against both datasheets and qualify in your own circuit. Our posts on thin film versus thick film chip resistors and anti-surge chip resistors explain where the series split matters.

How do the 16 parts split by series and reel?

Mostly by series, then by reel. We counted the 16 by series name: 6 General Purpose, 5 General Purpose (Automotive), 2 anti-sulfuration (Automotive), 2 LF 100ppm and 1 TC50, and by Packaging cell: three 7 inch reels (10,000, 15,000 and 20,000 pieces), one 10 inch reel of 20,000 and two 13 inch reels (50,000 and 70,000).

The packaging letter near the end of the part number selects the reel, so two parts with the same electrical fields are different orderable numbers. A buyer who needs 7 inch reels for a pick-and-place feeder must not order the 13 inch letter. Our post on how to read a Walsin MLCC part number shows the same idea for capacitors.

What does the Hong Kong shelf hold in 0201 resistors?

One part number in this line, four in the size. Our stock list as at 23 September 2026 holds WR02X1002FAL among the 16 parts at 10 kilohm, 1 percent, 0201, and 4 of the 17,827 distinct Walsin 0201 chip resistor part numbers in the export.

The ready stock list is a dated snapshot, never live-synced, and it counts part numbers, not pieces. The chip resistor range lists the families. If your drift, grade or reel is not stocked, ask for a to-order enquiry through the site.

What will we not tell you about Japanese electronics makers?

Anything about your design, your approvals or your supplier list. We hold 28 Walsin datasheets, 2 of them chip resistor, and none is for the 0201 General Purpose series in this line, so every count here is catalogue coverage, not suitability.

We make no claim that any part suits your product, and we make no qualification claim of our own; for the automotive series, ask for the qualification report for the exact part number. We hold no ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 certificate. We hold no office, entity or stock in Japan; our locations are Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Singapore and Jiangmen, with Chengdu in preparation. We give no legal or customs advice; confirm with your compliance team. Qualification stays with you.

How can Venatech help a Japanese module or equipment maker?

How Venatech helps starts with a free paste box. The cross-reference tool, VenaMatch, decodes 18 manufacturers’ part numbers and covers 800,000+ crossable parts; it accepts up to 500 part numbers or an Excel or CSV file and marks every field match or mismatch. Load a whole BOM for a check. The ready-stock list is a Hong Kong snapshot dated 23 September 2026.

Worked example from our own export: the 10 kilohm, 1 percent, 0201 brief returned 16 part numbers, 14 at a drift of 200 ppm, 1 on the shelf. Venatech Limited is authorised for Walsin only; Stackpole and Viking are lines we supply. We serve from Hong Kong, welcome small lots, and you request a quote through the site.

The short version

JEITA’s June 2026 table shows 750,219 million yen of passive components produced from January to June, 97.3 percent of the year before. For a 0201 resistor, the Walsin 10 kilohm, 1 percent line has 16 part numbers in 5 series names and 6 reel sizes, and our shelf holds 1.

Send us one 0201 resistor line from your BOM, with the drift, grade and reel size you accept, and we will return the Walsin parts with every difference stated. If your incumbent prints only 10 kilohm, 1 percent, do you know which of the 16 you are buying?

Frequently asked questions

What does JEITA show for Japanese passive component production in 2026?

The JEITA June 2026 page, citing METI, shows 138,212 million yen for June and 750,219 million yen for January to June, 97.3 percent of the same period in 2025. These are the association’s figures; check the originals before quoting.

How many Walsin 0201 resistors are 10 kilohm, plus or minus 1 percent?

Sixteen distinct part numbers in five series names, all 1/20 W: General Purpose, General Purpose Automotive, anti-sulfuration Automotive, LF 100ppm and High Precision TC50. They differ in drift, grade and reel.

Which part matches a 10 kilohm, 1 percent, 0201 brief on every export field?

WR02X1002FAL matches on size, value, tolerance, power and a 7 inch reel of 15,000, and it is on our shelf. Confirm the datasheet and qualify in your own circuit.

Does a different last letter mean a different part?

Yes. The packaging letter selects the reel, so WR02X1002FAL and WR02X1002FTL share electrical fields but differ in reel quantity. The extra V or J letters select anti-sulfuration or automotive grades.

Which 0201 resistors are on the Hong Kong shelf?

As at 23 September 2026, four of the 17,827 distinct 0201 part numbers in the export, one of them WR02X1002FAL. The snapshot is dated, not live, so ask us through the site.

Do you hold stock or an office in Japan?

No. We hold no office, entity or stock in Japan; our locations are Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Singapore and Jiangmen. We hold no ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 certificate and give no legal or customs advice. Confirm with your compliance team.
