Can it be replaced directly?

RC0603FR-075K1L and FRC0603F5101TS are the closest catalog matches, pending FAE review.

Best replacement path

Prefer same 0603, 5.1 kΩ, ±1%, 0.1 W, thick-film parts with confirmed voltage rating.

Main risk

Voltage, derating, and tolerance must match the actual circuit stress.
