What risks should I check before replacing RC0402FR-071K62L?

When substituting, primarily check that the resistance (1.62kΩ) and tolerance (±1%) are identical. For parametric alternatives, ensure your circuit can tolerate the change in resistance. Also, verify the power rating (≥0.0625W) and TCR if the application is sensitive to temperature changes.
