Closest parametric alternative by resistance, but lacks automotive qualification.
CQ02WGF8872TCE is an 88.7kΩ, 1% tolerance, 0402 chip resistor qualified to AEC-Q200 for automotive use. Finding a replacement requires matching both electrical parameters and the critical automotive-grade qualification.
Using a commercial-grade part in an automotive design requires significant re-qualification.
Resistance values are within a tolerable range for many applications, but should be verified.
All candidates share the same 0402 package, ensuring physical compatibility.
No direct, drop-in replacement has been identified, as all candidates lack the target's AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.
Source another AEC-Q200 qualified 88.7kΩ resistor. If unavailable, a commercial part like FRC0402F9092TS requires extensive validation for automotive use.
The primary risk is using a non-AEC-Q200 resistor in an automotive application, which can lead to reliability issues under harsh conditions.
