FRC0402F6803TS is a general-purpose 680kΩ 1/16W resistor in a 0402 package. Several pin-compatible alternatives exist, such as Yageo's RC0402FR-07680KL, though careful review of application power dissipation is recommended.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Key parameters match, but verify power dissipation in-circuit as there is no extra margin.

Package risklow

Pin-compatible options use the same 0402 footprint, minimizing physical integration risk.

Sourcing risklow

This is a common resistor value and package, with alternatives available from multiple vendors.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for FRC0402F6803TS should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Yageo's RC0402FR-07680KL is the most direct replacement, matching all critical parameters.

Main risk

The primary risk is the lack of increased power handling in direct replacements; they match the original's power rating but do not exceed it.
