Is there a pin-compatible replacement for AF0402FR-076K98L?

Yes, several 0402 resistors are pin-compatible. However, the best functional match, AC0402FR-076K8L, has a 6.8kΩ resistance instead of 6.98kΩ, which requires engineering review.

What risks should I check before replacing AF0402FR-076K98L?

First, ensure the replacement is AEC-Q200 qualified and anti-sulfurated if used in automotive or harsh environments. Second, verify that any difference in resistance is within your circuit's tolerance.

AF0402FR-076K98L Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | Yageo

AI replacement insight

Application riskhigh

Using a non-AEC-Q200 part in an automotive design is a high risk.

Electrical riskmedium

Resistance mismatch requires circuit validation.

Package risklow

The 0402 package is standard and widely available.

Can it be replaced directly?

No exact drop-in replacement with 6.98kΩ resistance was found. The closest functional match is AC0402FR-076K8L, which has a standard 6.8kΩ value but matches other key specs.

Best replacement path

The best path is to use another AEC-Q200 qualified, anti-sulfur resistor like Yageo's AC0402FR-076K8L and verify the slight resistance difference is acceptable.

Main risk

The primary risk is using a non-automotive grade resistor, which can lead to premature failure. A secondary risk is the slight resistance mismatch of the best alternatives.

Recommended alternatives

Functionally similar AEC-Q200 resistor with a slightly lower resistance of 6.8kΩ versus 6.98kΩ.
