AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

TCR mismatch is common in available alternatives.

Package riskmedium

High-power axial parts may be larger; SMD parts require redesign.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, verified drop-in replacement has been identified. All candidates require engineering review due to parametric differences like TCR or package type.

Best replacement path

Review axial candidates with matching resistance/tolerance, but verify TCR and physical size before use.

Main risk

The primary risk is degraded circuit stability due to substitutes with a higher Temperature Coefficient (TCR).
