Reviewing alternatives for the Yageo RC0402FR-072K15L, a 2.15kΩ 1% 0402 chip resistor. Key considerations for substitutes are resistance deviation, power rating, and temperature coefficient (TCR).

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Resistance mismatch requires circuit analysis.

Package risklow

All suggested candidates are in the standard 0402 package.

Sourcing risklow

0402 resistors are widely available from multiple vendors.

Can it be replaced directly?

No exact direct replacement exists if the 2.15kΩ value is critical. Parametric alternatives with slightly different resistance values are available.

Best replacement path

Use a nearby standard value from the same Yageo RC series, like 2.1kΩ or 2.21kΩ, after verifying circuit tolerance.

Main risk

Resistance deviation from the target 2.15kΩ value.

Questions & answers

The closest alternatives are typically other resistors in the same E96 series, such as Yageo's RC0402FR-072K1L (2.1kΩ) or RC0402FR-072K21L (2.21kΩ). Always verify if the resistance deviation is acceptable for your application.
