Is there a pin-compatible replacement for 0402WGF2553TCE?

Yageo AC0402DR-07255KL is a potential pin-compatible replacement as it shares the 0402 package, pin count, and resistance. However, it is from a different manufacturer and has a critical data conflict regarding its power rating that requires engineering review.

What risks should I check before replacing 0402WGF2553TCE?

The main risk is resistance mismatch. Many alternatives have values like 243kΩ or 267kΩ, so you must confirm your circuit can tolerate this deviation. Additionally, for specific parts like AC0402DR-07255KL, you must verify the power rating from the datasheet due to conflicting information.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Most alternatives have different resistance values. One has a power rating conflict.

Package risklow

All suggested candidates use the same 0402 package, ensuring form and fit compatibility.

Sourcing risklow

Multiple manufacturers (Yageo, UNI-ROYAL) produce viable alternatives, ensuring supply chain flexibility.

Can it be replaced directly?

A direct replacement may exist in Yageo's AC0402DR-07255KL, but a critical data conflict in its power rating requires verification before it can be considered a drop-in part.

Best replacement path

Yageo's AC0402DR-07255KL offers identical resistance and a better tolerance, but its power rating must be verified due to a data conflict. For a lower-risk option, consider same-series parts like 0402WGF2673TCE with a minor resistance change.

Main risk

The primary risk is substituting with a part that has a different resistance value, which could alter circuit behavior.

Recommended alternatives

Matches resistance and package, with superior tolerance. Power rating requires verification due to data conflict.
