0603WAJ0201T5E is a 0603 200Ω ±5% 0.1W thick-film resistor. Several same-size candidates exist, but PDF and derating checks remain required.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

0.1W parts need circuit derating review.

Package risklow

Kept parts list 0603 and 2 terminals.

Firmware risklow

Passive resistor; no firmware impact.

Sourcing riskmedium

PDF checks are still pending.

Can it be replaced directly?

The closest candidates are RC0603JR-07200RL and FRC0603F2000TS, pending FAE review.

Best replacement path

Prefer same 0603 size, 200Ω value, equal or tighter tolerance, equal TCR, and adequate voltage/power margin.

Main risk

Power derating, TCR differences, and voltage-rating gaps.
