AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

High risk if selecting a 0603 part for a 0201 footprint; requires board redesign.

Electrical riskmedium

Medium risk for same-package parts due to resistance deviation and lack of power margin.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct pin-to-pin replacement has been identified. Candidates have the same 0201 package but different resistance, or matching resistance in a larger 0603 package.

Best replacement path

For form-fit, consider 0201WMF7501TEE, but verify the ~2.3% resistance deviation. For matching resistance, RC0603FR-077K68L is an option if the larger 0603 package is feasible.

Main risk

The primary risk is package mismatch for functional alternates, or resistance deviation for form-fit candidates. No candidates meet the 1.5x power rating safety factor.

Questions & answers

The best alternative depends on design constraints. If the 0201 footprint is mandatory, 0201WMF7501TEE is a close option, but its 7.5kΩ resistance must be validated. If board space allows, RC0603FR-077K68L offers identical resistance in a larger 0603 package with higher power handling.
