Finding a substitute for the FRC0402F3742TS 37.4kΩ resistor involves finding parts with the same 0402 package and 1/16W power rating. Several parametric alternatives with nearby resistance values are available.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Resistance differs by 3-5%, which may be unacceptable for precision circuits.

Package risklow

All suggested alternatives use the same 0402 package.

Sourcing risklow

The suggested alternatives are common values from major manufacturers.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, 1-to-1 replacement with 37.4kΩ resistance was found in this batch. The closest options are parametric alternatives like FRC0402F3602TS (36kΩ) or FRC0402F3902TS (39kΩ).

Best replacement path

Use a nearby standard E96 resistance value like 36.0kΩ or 39.0kΩ from the same FRC0402 series or a higher-spec series like Yageo's RT.

Main risk

The primary risk is the resistance deviation from the target's 37.4kΩ, which could affect circuit timing, gain, or sensor readings.
