A general-purpose resistor with matching core parameters but without automotive-grade qualifications.
AF0402FR-07100KL is a 100kΩ 1% 1/16W thick film resistor in an 0402 package, qualified to AEC-Q200 for automotive applications. Finding a substitute requires matching these critical qualifications.
Substituting a general-purpose part for an AEC-Q200 qualified one introduces reliability risks.
All reviewed candidates use the same 0402 package, ensuring physical compatibility.
No direct, drop-in replacement has been identified that matches all specifications, including the critical AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.
For non-automotive applications, WR04X1003FTL is a strong parametric match. For automotive use, a direct replacement must also be AEC-Q200 qualified and anti-sulfurated.
Using a non-AEC-Q200 qualified part in an automotive or high-reliability application can lead to component failure.
