Additional Details

The 0402 package size is a standard miniature size widely used in surface mount technology, enabling high-density circuit board layouts. The ±5% tolerance allows for a slight variation in the actual resistance value. The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) indicates the stability of the resistance value over temperature. The nickel barrier termination enhances solderability and prevents solder leaching during reflow. These resistors are manufactured using a thick film process, which provides a good balance of cost and performance.

This resistor is commonly employed in applications where a small, reliable, and cost-effective 15kΩ resistance is required.
