Is there a pin-compatible replacement for FRC0603F1502TS?

No exact pin-to-pin replacement with identical parameters was found. Candidates like FRC0603F1432TS share the same 0603 package but have a different resistance value that requires engineering review.

What risks should I check before replacing FRC0603F1502TS?

Key risks include package size mismatch, which requires a new PCB layout, and resistance value deviation, which can affect circuit performance. Always verify the substitute's parameters against your application's requirements.
