AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Resistance values of top candidates are within 3% of the target. Power, voltage, and tolerance match.

Package risklow

All recommended candidates use the same standard 0603 package.

Sourcing risklow

Multiple manufacturers (Yageo, FOJAN) offer suitable alternatives.

Can it be replaced directly?

No exact direct replacement was found. However, several parts are form-fit-function compatible with minor resistance differences acceptable in many applications.

Best replacement path

Use a candidate with the closest resistance value, such as FRC0603F4993TS (499kΩ) or FRC0603F4753TS (475kΩ).

Main risk

Slight deviation in resistance value.
