Yageo
A pin-compatible upgrade with tighter tolerance (±0.1%) and better temperature stability (50 ppm/°C).
Find suitable replacements for the FRC0402F4422TS, a 44.2kΩ 1% 0402 chip resistor. This guide reviews pin-compatible upgrades and parametric alternatives to help you navigate your sourcing options.
All suggested alternatives are in the same 0402 package.
Many alternatives have different resistance values that require circuit validation.
Yes, RT0402BRE0744K2L is a potential direct replacement, matching the 44.2kΩ resistance and 0402 package, while offering better performance.
The most direct path is using a pin-compatible upgrade like RT0402BRE0744K2L, which improves precision without changing the core resistance value.
The main risk is using a part with a different nominal resistance value, which could alter circuit behavior.
