Yageo
Automotive grade upgrade with tighter tolerance and better TCR in the same 0402 package.
Finding a substitute for the Yageo AF0402FR-074K7L 4.7kΩ 1% resistor requires matching its 0402 package and AEC-Q200 automotive grade. Several alternatives offer higher precision, but verifying the grade is critical.
Using a non-AEC-Q200 part in an automotive circuit is a major risk.
0402 is a standard package with many options.
Many upgrades with better tolerance/TCR are available.
Yageo AT0402BRD074K7L is a strong candidate for direct replacement, offering superior electrical characteristics in the same automotive-grade package.
Upgrade to a higher-precision, AEC-Q200 qualified thin film resistor like Yageo's AT0402BRD074K7L.
Accidentally substituting with a commercial-grade resistor, which lacks the AEC-Q200 qualification required for automotive applications.
