AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Resistance values differ from the target, requiring circuit tolerance analysis.

Package risklow

All candidates match the 0402 package, ensuring physical compatibility.

Can it be replaced directly?

No exact drop-in replacement with 1.62kΩ resistance was found. However, several parts like FRC0402F1651TS (1.65kΩ) are parametrically very close and may be suitable after engineering review.

Best replacement path

FRC0402F1651TS offers a very close resistance value (1.65kΩ) with matching core specifications. For higher precision, consider the thin-film upgrade RT0402BRD071K65L.

Main risk

The primary risk is the deviation in resistance value. Candidates range from 1.47kΩ to 1.69kΩ, which may affect circuit performance.
