Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for 1206W4F5601T5E should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Use the same 1206 5.6kΩ value first; accept ±5% only if the circuit allows it.

Main risk

Tolerance or resistance changes can shift circuit behavior.
