Finding a substitute for the 0402WGJ0822TCE 8.2kΩ resistor involves matching the 0402 package, power rating, and resistance. Several alternatives offer upgraded tolerance (±1% vs ±5%) and are readily available.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Most alternatives are upgrades in tolerance. Power rating is identical.

Package risklow

All reviewed candidates match the 0402 package.

Sourcing risklow

This is a very common resistor value with many manufacturers.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for 0402WGJ0822TCE should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Use a thick film, 0402, 8.2kΩ, 1/16W resistor with ±1% tolerance, such as AC0402FR-078K2L, for a direct upgrade.

Main risk

The main risk is selecting a part with a different nominal resistance or technology (e.g., Thin Film) without verifying circuit impact.
