Is there a pin-compatible replacement for 0603WAF6204T5E?

While several candidates share the 0603 package, none are a direct pin-compatible replacement due to different resistance values. For example, 0603WAF6804T5E has a resistance of 6.8MΩ compared to the target's 6.2MΩ.

What risks should I check before replacing 0603WAF6204T5E?

The main risk is the resistance mismatch of approximately ±10%. This can affect timing, voltage division, or feedback loops. Always verify the new resistance value is acceptable for your application's performance and stability before production.
