Yageo
Strong pin-compatible alternative with an improved Temperature Coefficient (TCR) of ±10 ppm/°C.
Find and compare alternatives for the Viking Tech AR05BTCW1002, a 10kΩ 0.1% 0805 thin film resistor. Review pin-compatible and parametric alternatives, noting differences in tolerance and TCR.
Risk is medium to high if using substitutes with relaxed tolerance or TCR. Low for the top candidate.
All viable candidates share the same 0805 package, ensuring physical compatibility.
Direct replacement for AR05BTCW1002 should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The Yageo RT0805BRB0710KL is the best alternative, offering a superior TCR of ±10 ppm/°C while matching all other key specifications.
The main risk is using a substitute with a weaker tolerance (e.g., >0.1%) or a higher TCR (e.g., >25 ppm/°C), which can compromise circuit accuracy and stability.
