FOJAN
An excellent upgrade with double the power rating (0.5W) and tighter 1% tolerance.
Find suitable replacements for the FOJAN FRC1206J820 TS, an 82Ω 5% 0.25W 1206 thick film resistor. This guide reviews pin-compatible upgrades and parametric alternatives to ensure your project's success.
Low for 82Ω parts; medium for 75Ω parts which require validation.
All reviewed candidates share the same 1206 package.
This is a common resistor value available from multiple vendors.
Yes, RC1206FR-0782RL by Yageo is a strong pin-to-pin replacement with an improved 1% tolerance.
FRP1206F82R0TS is the best upgrade, offering double the power rating and tighter 1% tolerance. For a direct match, RC1206FR-0782RL offers tighter 1% tolerance at the same power.
The main risk is using an alternative with a different resistance value (e.g., 75Ω), which requires circuit analysis to ensure performance is not compromised.
