AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Candidates have different resistance or power ratings.

Package risklow

All candidates share the same 0402 package.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, 1:1 replacement was found. All candidates are parametric alternatives requiring engineering review.

Best replacement path

The closest match is FRC0402F2612TS, which has identical resistance but a marginal power downgrade. For a power upgrade, consider ERJ2RKF2702X, but verify its +3.4% resistance deviation.

Main risk

The main risk is substituting a resistor with a different resistance value, which can alter the circuit's behavior. A secondary risk is a minor power derating.
