Yageo
Parametrically similar but with a lower power rating (0.125W vs 0.25W). Requires engineering review.
Yageo's AC0805FR-7W2KL is a 2kΩ, 1%, 0.25W AEC-Q200 qualified thick film resistor in an 0805 package. Finding a direct replacement requires matching these key parameters, especially the power rating.
Power rating mismatch is a critical failure point.
All candidates share the same 0805 package.
Finding an exact 0.25W match is necessary.
No direct, drop-in replacements were found in this batch. All candidates have a lower power rating (0.125W vs 0.25W), which poses a significant risk of failure.
Search for 0805 resistors with 2kΩ, 1% tolerance, and a power rating of 0.25W or higher. The Yageo AC series (part number ending in 7W) or equivalents are good starting points.
The primary risk is the lower power rating of all candidates, which can lead to overheating and component failure if the circuit dissipates more than 0.125W.

The best alternative would be another 0805 chip resistor with 2kΩ resistance, ±1% tolerance, and a power rating of at least 0.25W. Yageo's AC0805FR-072KL is parametrically close but has only half the power rating, making it a risky downgrade.
