Sourcing riskmedium

some sources need confirmation

Can it be replaced directly?

RC0603FR-0739KL is the closest catalog match, but PDF and power fields need FAE confirmation.

Best replacement path

Start with RC0603FR-0739KL, then review thin-film or relaxed-value options.

Main risk

Resistance changes and power derating can alter circuit behavior.
