A general-purpose 100Ω 0402 thick-film resistor. Differs significantly from the target's precision specs.
AR02BTC1000 is a high-precision 100Ω thin-film resistor. Finding a substitute requires careful evaluation of tolerance and technology, as no direct drop-in replacements with identical precision were found.
Tolerance and technology mismatches can cause circuit failure in precision applications.
All viable candidates use the same 0402 package.
No direct, pin-to-pin replacement with identical precision (±0.1% tolerance) was found. All candidates have wider tolerances and may use different resistor technology.
Find a thin-film 0402 100Ω resistor with ≤±0.1% tolerance. If unavailable, TC02G1000FT is the closest option but requires tolerance analysis.
The primary risk is substituting a lower-precision (±1%) or thick-film resistor, which can degrade circuit performance, stability, and accuracy.
