Can it be replaced directly?

FRC0603F2152TS is the closest candidate, but PDF and power margin checks remain required.

Best replacement path

Use same-value 21.5kΩ first; consider 21kΩ or 22kΩ only if the circuit allows value shift.

Main risk

Resistance changes affect dividers, bias networks and RC timing.
