Is there a pin-compatible replacement for FRC0402F6981TS?

Yes, several alternatives like 0402WGF6811TCE and RT0402BRD076K8L share the same 0402 package and are pin-compatible. However, their electrical parameters, especially resistance, differ and must be reviewed for your application.

What risks should I check before replacing FRC0402F6981TS?

The main risk is the difference in resistance from the target's 6.98kΩ. You must verify that your circuit can tolerate this deviation. Also check for differences in Temperature Coefficient (TCR) and technology (Thick vs. Thin Film).

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Resistance value differs, which is the primary risk. Tolerance or TCR may also vary.

Package risklow

All suggested alternatives use the same 0402 package, ensuring form and fit compatibility.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct drop-in replacement with the exact 6.98kΩ resistance value was found. However, several parametric alternatives in the same 0402 package are available.

Best replacement path

Use a parametric alternative with a close resistance value, such as 6.81kΩ or 6.8kΩ, after verifying circuit tolerance.

Main risk

Resistance deviation from the target 6.98kΩ value, which may affect circuit performance in precision applications.

Recommended alternatives

A 0402 1% resistor from the same manufacturer series with 6.65kΩ resistance.
