Find and compare replacements for the UNI-ROYAL 0402WGF2802TCE, a 28kΩ 1% 1/16W 0402 thick film resistor. This guide provides pin-compatible options and parametric alternatives to help with sourcing and design decisions.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

For pin-compatible options, electrical risk is low. For parametric alternatives, resistance difference must be validated.

Package risklow

All suggested candidates are in the same 0402 package, minimizing layout and assembly risks.

Sourcing risklow

28kΩ 1% 0402 is a common resistor value available from multiple vendors, reducing sourcing risk.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for 0402WGF2802TCE should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

The best replacement path is to use a part with identical key parameters (28kΩ, 1%, 1/16W, 0402), such as FOJAN's FRC0402F2802TS.

Main risk

The main risk when substituting resistors is a mismatch in resistance value, which can alter circuit behavior. Other risks include differences in temperature coefficient (TCR) and power handling.
