Yageo
A close parametric alternative with a 2.4% lower resistance value; matches technology, tolerance, and package.
Find and compare alternatives for the FRC0603F7872TS, a 78.7kΩ 1% 0.1W 0603 thick film resistor. Key parameters for replacement include resistance value, power rating, and technology.
Resistance deviation of 2-5% requires circuit analysis.
All suggested alternatives are in the same 0603 package.
Candidates are from a major global manufacturer.
No direct, drop-in replacement for the 78.7kΩ FRC0603F7872TS is available. All viable alternatives require engineering review due to different resistance values.
Use a nearby standard E96 resistance value like 76.8kΩ (RC0603FR-0776K8L) or 80.6kΩ (RC0603FR-0780K6L), verifying the impact of the ~2.4% resistance shift.
The primary risk is the resistance mismatch; substitutes will have different values that may impact circuit performance.

The best alternative depends on your circuit's tolerance for resistance deviation. RC0603FR-0776K8L (76.8kΩ) and RC0603FR-0780K6L (80.6kΩ) are parametrically very close thick film resistors.
