UNI-ROYAL
Parametric alternative with a +4.7% resistance deviation in the same 0603 package.
FRC0603F2553TS is a 255kΩ, 1% tolerance, 0.1W thick film chip resistor in a standard 0603 package. This guide reviews parametric alternatives from Yageo, UNI-ROYAL, and FOJAN.
Resistance difference is small (<5% for best options), but must be verified for precision circuits.
All suggested alternatives use the same 0603 package.
No direct drop-in replacement with the exact 255kΩ resistance was found. However, several parametric alternatives with standard resistance values are available.
The closest alternatives are standard E96 resistance value resistors like FRC0603F2613TS (261kΩ) from the same manufacturer, or RC0603FR-07261KL from Yageo.
The primary risk is the resistance mismatch. The target's 255kΩ value is non-standard, and substitutes have standard values like 261kΩ or 243kΩ.
