Yageo's RC0402FR-071K15L is a general-purpose 1.15kΩ 1% 1/16W thick film resistor in a 0402 package. Several pin-compatible alternatives and parametric options exist from various manufacturers.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Low for pin-to-pin matches; medium for parametric or technology mismatches.

Package risklow

All suggested candidates use the same 0402 package.

Sourcing risklow

Multiple vendors offer compatible parts, improving supply chain resilience.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for RC0402FR-071K15L should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Start with Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates for RC0402FR-071K15L, then review parametric alternatives for package and electrical fit.

Main risk

The main risk is using a parametric alternative with a different resistance value (e.g., 1.2kΩ vs 1.15kΩ), which may affect circuit performance.
