What risks should I check before replacing FRC0402F1333TS?

Always verify that the substitute's resistance, tolerance, power rating, and temperature coefficient (TCR) are acceptable for your circuit. For the closest matches, the main check is if a 3% higher resistance is within your design's tolerance.

FRC0402F1333TS Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | FOJAN

Find suitable replacements for the FRC0402F1333TS, a 133kΩ 1% 0402 thick film resistor. This guide reviews pin-compatible and parametric alternatives.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Closest substitutes have only a 3% resistance deviation. Other parameters match.

Package risklow

All candidates use the same standard 0402 package, ensuring form and fit.

Sourcing risklow

Multiple manufacturers (Yageo, FOJAN) offer suitable alternatives.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for FRC0402F1333TS should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Use RC0402FR-07137KL or FRC0402F1373TS, which match all key specs with only a minor (3%) resistance difference.

Main risk

The primary risk is the slight deviation in resistance values for the best candidates. Other alternatives have larger parametric differences.

Recommended alternatives

From the same manufacturer series, this part is an excellent match with slightly higher resistance.
