Yageo
Strong match with identical key specs and package, plus added anti-sulfuration feature.
Yageo AC0402FR-0751KL is a popular AEC-Q200 automotive-grade 51kΩ 1% thick film resistor in a 0402 package. Finding a suitable replacement requires matching its automotive qualification and key electrical parameters.
Risk is high if a non-AEC-Q200 or parametrically different part is used.
All candidates use the same 0402 package, so physical fit is not a concern.
Direct replacement for AC0402FR-0751KL should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Yageo's AF0402FR-0751KL is the best replacement path, offering identical specifications plus an anti-sulfuration feature.
The primary risk is substituting with a non-automotive grade (non-AEC-Q200) component, which could compromise circuit reliability and safety.
