Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for 0603WAF1003T5E should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Start with same-size 100 kΩ ±1% 0.1 W thick-film parts, then confirm voltage, temperature, and derating in the PDF.

Main risk

Using equal 0.1 W parts without checking actual circuit power margin.
