Is there a pin-compatible replacement for FRC1206F6801TS?

While several parts share the same 1206 package and are physically pin-compatible, no exact electrical match has been found. All options require reviewing parametric differences like resistance tolerance or value.

What risks should I check before replacing FRC1206F6801TS?

Before replacing, verify your circuit's sensitivity to resistance tolerance (target is ±1%) and nominal resistance value (6.8kΩ). Also check the temperature coefficient (TCR) if operating over a wide temperature range.

FRC1206F6801TS is a 6.8kΩ, 1% tolerance, 0.25W thick film resistor in a 1206 package. Finding a direct replacement requires matching these precision specifications, and alternatives often involve a trade-off in either resistance value or tolerance.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskhigh

Substituting a 1% resistor with a 5% one, or changing the resistance value, can affect performance in precision analog, filtering, or feedback circuits.

Package risklow

All viable candidates share the same 1206 package, ensuring physical and layout compatibility.

Can it be replaced directly?

There are no cataloged direct, pin-to-pin replacements for FRC1206F6801TS. All identified candidates have parametric differences that require engineering review.

Best replacement path

No direct drop-in replacements were found. The best path is to evaluate alternatives with parametric trade-offs, such as accepting a different resistance value (e.g., 6.2kΩ) to maintain 1% precision, or accepting a wider tolerance (5%) to maintain the 6.8kΩ value.

Main risk

The primary risk is either accepting a wider resistance tolerance (5% vs 1%) or a different nominal resistance value (e.g., 6.2kΩ vs 6.8kΩ), which can impact circuit performance.

Recommended alternatives

Matches precision (1% tolerance, 100ppm TCR) and package, but has a lower resistance value of 6.2kΩ.

Questions & answers

The best alternative depends on your circuit's tolerance. If the resistance value is critical, parts like FRC1206J682 TS offer the same 6.8kΩ but with a looser ±5% tolerance. If precision is key, FRC1206F6201TS offers ±1% tolerance but at a different value of 6.2kΩ. Engineering review is required.
