Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for 0603WAF3241T5E should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Use same 0603, 3.24 kΩ, ±1%, 0.1 W candidates first; use 3.3 kΩ only with value review.

Main risk

Resistance changes and package changes can alter circuit behavior or assembly fit.
