The UNI-ROYAL 0402WGF5491TCE is a 5.49kΩ, 1/16W, 1% thick film chip resistor in a standard 0402 package. Multiple pin-compatible and functional alternatives are available, offering flexibility in sourcing and design.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Resistance deviation is the main factor; other specs match.

Package risklow

All top candidates use the same standard 0402 package.

Sourcing risklow

Alternatives are from common manufacturers and standard values.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for 0402WGF5491TCE should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Use resistors with values between 5.36kΩ and 5.62kΩ, such as FRC0402F5621TS or FRC0402F5601TS, which have minimal resistance deviation.

Main risk

The primary risk is the small deviation in resistance value. For precision circuits, this change could affect performance and must be verified.
