FOJAN
A very close alternative from the same manufacturer and series with a negligible resistance difference.
Finding a substitute for the FRC0402F5601TS 5.6kΩ resistor involves matching the 0402 package, 1/16W power rating, and 1% tolerance. Several alternatives exist with slight variations in resistance.
Resistance value mismatch is the main electrical risk. Check circuit tolerance.
All suggested alternatives use the same 0402 package.
These are common resistor values from major manufacturers.
Yes, FRC0402F5621TS is a very close alternative to FRC0402F5601TS, sharing the same manufacturer, series, and key parameters with a negligible resistance difference.
For a near-identical match, use FRC0402F5621TS. For higher precision applications where resistance can be adjusted, consider the Yageo RT series.
The primary risk is substituting a resistor with a different resistance value (e.g., 5.1kΩ vs 5.6kΩ), which can alter circuit behavior.
