FOJAN
Needs validationlow risk
A very close substitute from the same manufacturer and series with a negligible 0.6% resistance difference.
Best Alternatives to FRC0402F8251TS
Finding a substitute for the FRC0402F8251TS 8.25kΩ 1% resistor involves matching the 0402 package and power rating, and considering close resistance values from the same or different technology series.
AI replacement insight
Electrical risklow
Low if resistance is within 1% of target. Medium if technology changes (thick vs. thin film).
Package risklow
All recommended candidates are 0402 package.
Sourcing risklow
These are common resistor values from major manufacturers.
Can it be replaced directly?
Yes, FRC0402F8201TS is a very close functional replacement for FRC0402F8251TS, with a resistance of 8.2kΩ versus 8.25kΩ, which is within the original's tolerance.
Best replacement path
Use FRC0402F8201TS from the same manufacturer for a near-identical match, or consider a thin-film upgrade like RT0402BRD078K2L for better precision if the application allows.
Main risk
The primary risk is substituting with a part where the resistance value is outside the original design's tolerance, or changing from thick film to thin film technology without verifying application suitability.
