What risks should I check before replacing FRC0402F8252TS?

Before replacing FRC0402F8252TS, confirm the substitute has the same 82.5kΩ resistance, ±1% tolerance, 1/16W power rating, and 0402 package. Also verify the temperature coefficient (TCR) and operating temperature range are suitable for your application.

FRC0402F8252TS Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | FOJAN

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Low if all key parameters (resistance, tolerance, power) are matched.

Package risklow

Low, as 0402 is a highly standardized package.

Sourcing risklow

This is a common value resistor, so sourcing risk is minimal.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for FRC0402F8252TS should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Start with Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates for FRC0402F8252TS, then review parametric alternatives for package and electrical fit.

Main risk

The main risk is selecting a substitute with a different nominal resistance value, which can alter circuit performance.
