Turkey sold 135,979 electric cars from January to October 2026, a 19.6 percent share. For an anti-sulfur resistor on those boards, do not trust the suffix: we found 15,290 Walsin Technology (Walsin) chip resistor part numbers ending in TLV, and only 9,001 sit in an anti-sulfuration series.
Venatech Limited, an authorised Walsin distributor in Hong Kong, wrote this for a design or sourcing engineer at a Turkish supplier of EV chargers, battery electronics, lighting or body modules who has been asked to put an anti-sulfur resistor on the drawing. On 11 November 2026 we re-read all 137 Walsin chip resistor export files (234,815 rows, 234,401 distinct part numbers) and our stock list as at 23 September 2026. Every part number below is real, and the market figures are ODMD’s as reported, fetched today.
What did ODMD’s October 2026 figures say about electric cars in Turkey?
Electric cars held about a fifth of a smaller market. According to Alomaliye on 3 November 2026, citing the Automotive Distributors and Mobility Association (ODMD), Turkey sold 135,979 electric cars from January to October 2026, a 19.6 percent share, and 229,247 hybrids, a 33.1 percent share.
The same report put October’s total car and light commercial market at 80,334 units, down 30.84 percent on October 2025. Those are the association’s figures as the publication reported them, not ours. We read them as a steady electrified share inside a market that slowed in October; we do not forecast either. We have no relationship with any Turkish carmaker or importer and say nothing about what any of them buys.
Why does an anti-sulfur resistor matter on an EV board built in Turkey?
Because thick-film resistors use a silver-bearing inner electrode that sulfur-bearing air can attack. Walsin lists 41,147 chip resistor part numbers in series whose names say “Anti-Sulfuration”, spread across files such as Thick_Film_Chip_Resistor_Array_Anti_Sulfuration__1of1.xlsx and the Thick_Film_General_Purpose exports, and we counted 23,530 of them labelled automotive, a figure we have published before.
A sulfuration failure shows up slowly as rising resistance or an open circuit, in boards that sit near rubber, sealants, exhaust or industrial air. That is why automotive and charger customers increasingly write “anti-sulfur” next to the value. We hold no Walsin datasheet for the anti-sulfuration series and cannot state its test method or pass criteria; our post on anti-sulfuration resistors, SF thin film and SA arrays says what we do and do not hold. The specification belongs to your customer; this post only helps you find the right Walsin series.
Does a V at the end of a Walsin part number mean anti-sulfur?
Not reliably. We counted 15,290 Walsin chip resistor part numbers ending in TLV: 9,001 are in anti-sulfuration series (4,846 WR and 4,155 WF), while 6,289 are not, including 4,845 MR general purpose automotive parts and 1,444 low-ohm current-sense parts.
So WR06X1002FTLV is a general purpose anti-sulfuration automotive resistor, while MR06X1002FTLV, one letter different at the front, is a general purpose automotive resistor with no anti-sulfur label at all. A buyer who filters a BOM on the trailing V will pull in both. The MR parts sit in the same Thick_Film_General_Purpose export files as the WR anti-sulfur parts, which is why a file-level filter does not separate them either. We have not seen this suffix collision counted anywhere. The safe rule is to read the series name for each exact part number, never the last letter; the cross-reference tool prints the series beside every candidate, so the difference is visible before an order.
Which Walsin parts answer a 10 kilohm, 0603, 1 percent anti-sulfur brief?
Six single resistors out of 34. We filtered the export for 10 kilohm, 0603, plus or minus 1 percent and found 34 distinct part numbers across 24 series names; 6 are anti-sulfuration single resistors, 2 are anti-sulfuration arrays, and the only one on our shelf, WR06X1002FTL, is not anti-sulfur.
The last column is for your incumbent.
| Walsin part | Series as exported | TCR, ppm per °C | Power | On shelf 23 Sep 2026 | Match / mismatch with a 10 kilohm, 0603, 1%, anti-sulfur, automotive brief | Your incumbent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
SR06X1002FTL |
High Grade Anti-Sulfuration (Automotive) | up to 100 | 1/10 W | No | Match on every exported field | |
SR06X1002FTLW |
High Grade Anti-Sulfuration (Automotive) | up to 100 | 1/10 W | No | Match on the exported fields; suffix differs, so ask what W denotes | |
WR06X1002FTLV |
General Purpose Anti-Sulfuration (Automotive) | up to 100 | 1/10 W | No | Match on the exported fields | |
WR06X1002FTLZ |
General Purpose Anti-Sulfuration (Automotive) | up to 100 | 1/10 W | No | Match on the exported fields; suffix differs from the V part | |
WF06P1002FTLV |
High Power (Anti-Sulfuration) | up to 100 | 1/8 W | No | Mismatch: no automotive label; higher power rating | |
SF06P1002FTP |
High Power (Anti-Sulfuration) | up to 100 | 1/8 W | No | Mismatch: no automotive label | |
MR06X1002FTLV |
General Purpose (Automotive) | up to 100 | 1/10 W | No | Mismatch: no anti-sulfur label despite the V | |
WR06X1002FTL |
General Purpose | up to 100 | 1/10 W | Yes | Mismatch: commercial, not anti-sulfur |
A match in the table is a match on export fields, no more. The export has no column for the sulfur test itself, so confirm against both datasheets and qualify in your own circuit. Our post on Walsin automotive chip resistors, MR, SR and the AEC-Q200 split explains the automotive labels.
How big is the Walsin anti-sulfur resistor range, and what is on the shelf?
Large in the catalogue, empty on our shelf. We counted 38,375 single-resistor and 2,772 array anti-sulfuration part numbers, 41,147 in all, and none of them is on our stock list as at 23 September 2026; the shelf holds 250 chip resistor part numbers, 234 of them general purpose.
| Anti-sulfuration series in the export | Part numbers | Case sizes |
|---|---|---|
| Thick Film High Grade Anti-Sulfuration (Automotive), SR | 12,871 | 0402 to 2512 |
| Thick Film General Purpose Anti-Sulfuration (Automotive), WR | 10,659 | 0201 to 1210 |
| Thick Film High Power (Anti-Sulfuration), WF and SF | 9,135 | 0402 to 2512 |
| High Precision Anti-Sulfuration | 5,710 | 0402 to 1210 |
| Anti-Sulfuration arrays, SA | 2,772 | 0402 and 0603, 2 and 4 elements |

We hold no office, entity or stock in Turkey; our locations are Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Singapore and Jiangmen, with Chengdu in preparation. We give no customs or legal advice; confirm with your compliance team. The chip resistor range lists the families.
How can Venatech help a Turkish EV electronics buyer?
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; paste up to 500 part numbers or drop an Excel or CSV file, filter by commercial or automotive grade, and every field comes back marked match or mismatch. Load a whole BOM for a check, and see the ready-stock list, a Hong Kong snapshot dated 23 September 2026.
Worked example from our own export: the 10 kilohm, 0603, 1 percent brief returned 34 part numbers, 4 automotive anti-sulfur matches, and 1 commercial part 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. Qualification stays with you.
The short version
ODMD’s figures, as reported on 3 November 2026, put Turkey at 135,979 electric cars in ten months. For the anti-sulfur resistor on those boards, read the series name, not the suffix: 6,289 of 15,290 Walsin TLV part numbers carry no anti-sulfur label.
Send us your resistor lines marked anti-sulfur, and we will return the Walsin series for each part number with every difference stated. How many of your current anti-sulfur lines were chosen by suffix?
