What risks should I check before replacing RC0402FR-07249RL?

Key risks include resistance deviation, technology differences, and TCR. Alternatives with different resistance (e.g., 240Ω) require circuit analysis. Switching from Thick Film to Thin Film may affect performance in noise-sensitive or high-pulse applications.
