KOA Speer RK73H1ETTP1003F is an upgrade with a higher power rating and automotive qualification.
CR-02FL6--100K is a general-purpose 100kΩ 1% 0402 thick film resistor. Several pin-compatible and upgrade-path alternatives with higher power ratings are available.
Low for thick-film to thick-film swaps. Medium if changing to thin film.
All candidates share the same 0402 package footprint.
Multiple vendors offer compatible parts, improving availability.
Direct replacement for CR-02FL6--100K should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Upgrade to a higher power part like Yageo RC0402FR-7W100KL for increased robustness, or select a direct pin-to-pin match like VO SCR0402F100K.
The main risk is overlooking secondary parameters like TCR or pulse withstanding capability, especially when switching between thick and thin film technologies.
