0603WAJ0302T5E is a 0603 3 kΩ ±5% 0.1 W thick-film chip resistor. Several 0603 3 kΩ parts look usable, but PDF and derating checks are still needed.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Check power, voltage, TCR, and tolerance.

Package risklow

Most kept parts are 0603; 1206 is not form-fit.

Firmware risklow

Passive resistor; firmware impact is not expected.

Sourcing riskmedium

PDF checks are pending.

Can it be replaced directly?

0603WAF3001T5E is the strongest catalog candidate, pending FAE review.

Best replacement path

Prefer a 0603, 2-terminal, 3 kΩ thick-film part with equal or tighter tolerance.

Main risk

Power derating, voltage rating, and footprint confirmation.
