RC0402FR-0720KL closely matches the 0402 20 kΩ ±1% thick-film target.
0402WGF2002TCE is a 0402 20 kΩ ±1% thick-film resistor. The closest candidates need FAE review because PDFs are pending and stress fields are incomplete.
power margin and voltage need checks
best candidates are 0402
passive resistor
cross-vendor approvals needed
Direct replacement for 0402WGF2002TCE should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Start with RC0402FR-0720KL, then verify voltage, temperature, and power margin.
Missing stress ratings and pending PDF checks.
