UNI ROYAL
Potential pin-to-pin match with identical precision specs; power rating requires verification.
ARG05BTC1501 is a high-precision 1.5 kΩ thin-film resistor in an 0805 package with ±0.1% tolerance and ±25 ppm/°C TCR. Finding a direct replacement requires matching these tight specifications.
Using a part with worse tolerance or TCR will affect circuit accuracy.
All candidates use the standard 0805 package.
Direct replacement for ARG05BTC1501 should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The best path is finding another thin-film resistor with ±0.1% tolerance and ±25 ppm/°C TCR, like UNI ROYAL TC0525B1501T5G, after verifying its power rating.
The main risk is substituting a lower-precision thick-film resistor, which can degrade circuit performance due to wider tolerance and temperature drift (TCR).
