FOJAN
A direct upgrade with identical resistance and power, but tighter tolerance (±1%) and better TCR (±100ppm/°C).
Finding replacements for the FOJAN FRC0805J242TS, a 2.4kΩ 5% 0.125W 0805 thick film resistor, involves matching key parameters. Several upgrades with tighter tolerance are available and are often preferred for improved circuit precision.
For direct upgrades. Medium risk for parametric alternatives with different resistance.
All suggested alternatives use the same 0805 package.
2.4kΩ 0805 resistors are common, with many manufacturers available.
Yes, FRC0805F2401TS is a direct upgrade with better tolerance and TCR, making it a superior replacement.
Upgrade to a 1% tolerance resistor like FRC0805F2401TS for better precision with no other design changes.
Using a part with a different nominal resistance value without circuit validation is the primary risk.
