Yageo
A high-precision upgrade (tighter tolerance, lower TCR) but uses different Thin Film technology.
Finding a substitute for the Yageo AC0603FR-075K23L, an AEC-Q200 automotive-grade resistor, requires careful consideration of qualifications. While several parts match electrically, they may not meet automotive reliability standards.
Substituting with a non-AEC-Q200 part in an automotive design compromises reliability.
All candidates share the same 0603 package, ensuring physical compatibility.
No, there is no direct, drop-in replacement among the candidates for automotive applications because they all lack the required AEC-Q200 qualification.
For automotive applications, the best path is to source another AEC-Q200 qualified resistor with matching parameters. For non-automotive use, Yageo's RC0603FR-075K23L is an electrically identical commercial-grade option.
Using a non-automotive grade component in a system designed for AEC-Q200 parts can lead to premature failure and reliability issues.
