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.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Low for thick-film to thick-film swaps. Medium if changing to thin film.

Package risklow

All candidates share the same 0402 package footprint.

Sourcing risklow

Multiple vendors offer compatible parts, improving availability.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for CR-02FL6--100K should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Upgrade to a higher power part like Yageo RC0402FR-7W100KL for increased robustness, or select a direct pin-to-pin match like VO SCR0402F100K.

Main risk

The main risk is overlooking secondary parameters like TCR or pulse withstanding capability, especially when switching between thick and thin film technologies.
