Needs validationlow risk
A parametric alternative in the same 0402 package with a slightly higher resistance of 22kΩ.
Best Alternatives to RC0402FR-0721KL
Yageo's RC0402FR-0721KL is a general-purpose 21kΩ 1% thick film resistor in a standard 0402 package. When seeking alternatives, focus on matching the 0402 footprint, power rating, and ensuring the resistance deviation is within your circuit's tolerance.
AI replacement insight
Electrical risklow
Resistance differs by <5%, which is often within circuit tolerance.
Package risklow
The 0402 package is standard and alternatives are form-fit compatible.
Can it be replaced directly?
No exact drop-in replacement with 21kΩ resistance was identified from the same series. However, parts with 20kΩ and 22kΩ resistance in the same package are common and likely suitable.
Best replacement path
Parametric alternatives with slightly different resistance values (20kΩ-22kΩ) are readily available.
Main risk
Slight resistance deviation requires circuit tolerance analysis.
