Yageo
Excellent alternative from Yageo with identical package, resistance, tolerance, and power rating.
Find verified substitutes for the UNI-ROYAL 0402WGF2490TCE, a 249Ω 1% 0.0625W 0402 thick film resistor. This guide provides pin-compatible, upgraded, and parametric alternatives from manufacturers like Yageo and FOJAN.
Several alternatives have different resistance values, which can alter circuit behavior. This is the main risk to evaluate.
All presented candidates use the same 0402 surface-mount package, ensuring physical compatibility.
Direct replacement for 0402WGF2490TCE should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The most straightforward replacement is Yageo RC0402FR-07249RL, which is a direct pin-to-pin match on all key parameters.
The primary risk when considering other alternatives is a mismatch in resistance value (e.g., 240Ω or 261Ω), which requires circuit design validation.
