FH (Guangdong Fenghua Advanced Tech)
A strong pin-compatible alternative from FH with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and TCR in the same 0402 package.
Find and compare substitutes for the Yageo RC0402FR-0721K5L, a 21.5kΩ 1% 0.0625W 0402 chip resistor. This guide provides pin-compatible and parametric alternatives, highlighting key differences for engineering review.
Most alternatives have different resistance values, requiring circuit validation.
All candidates share the same 0402 package, ensuring physical compatibility.
Direct replacement for RC0402FR-0721K5L should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The most direct path is using a cross-vendor part with identical specs, like FH's RC-02K2152FT.
The primary risk is substituting with a part that has a different resistance value, which could alter circuit performance.
