AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Value and voltage must match use case.

Package risklow

Kept parts are 0603, 2-pin.

Firmware risklow

Passive resistor; no firmware.

Sourcing riskmedium

PDF checks are pending.

Can it be replaced directly?

FRC0603F2491TS is the closest candidate, but PDF and power margin checks are still required.

Best replacement path

Use the same value 2.49kΩ 0603 candidate first; use 2.4kΩ or 2.7kΩ only with circuit recalculation.

Main risk

Resistance changes affect dividers, bias points and feedback networks.
