FOJAN FRC0603F2321TS is a strong alternative with a 2.32kΩ resistance in the same 0603 package.
Finding a substitute for the UNI-ROYAL 0603WAF2371T5E, a 2.37kΩ 1% 0.1W 0603 resistor, involves matching key electrical parameters and package size. Several pin-compatible and parametric alternatives are available.
Minor resistance deviation is the main electrical difference. Power, tolerance, and TCR match.
All recommended alternatives use the same 0603 surface-mount package.
Alternatives are available from multiple manufacturers like FOJAN, Yageo, and Vishay.
Direct replacement for 0603WAF2371T5E should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Start with Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates for 0603WAF2371T5E, then review parametric alternatives for package and electrical fit.
The primary risk is the slight mismatch in resistance, which could impact the performance of sensitive analog or timing circuits.
