AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Values match; check derating.

Package risklow

All kept parts are 0603.

Firmware risklow

Passive resistor only.

Sourcing riskmedium

Some evidence is distributor-based.

Can it be replaced directly?

RC0603JR-075K1L and FRC0603J512 TS are closest by value, package, tolerance and power.

Best replacement path

Prefer same 0603, 5.1 kΩ, equal or tighter tolerance, 0.1 W or higher, with confirmed voltage and pulse limits.

Main risk

Same-power parts need application derating and pulse-load verification.
