Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for 0402WGJ0203TCE should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Start with same-value 0402 thick-film candidates, then verify voltage, temperature, power and termination.

Main risk

Missing candidate voltage and temperature ratings prevent a verified pin-compatible claim.
