Find and compare replacements for the Yageo RC0402FR-072K4L, a common 2.4kΩ 1% 0402 chip resistor. This guide analyzes pin-compatible parts, functional alternatives in different packages, and parametric variants to help you make the right choice.
AI replacement insight
Package riskmedium
Many alternatives are in larger packages (0603, 0805) and are not drop-in replacements.
Electrical risklow
Most candidates match key specs. Some have different resistance values that require review.
Sourcing risklow
This is a very common resistor value and size, with many manufacturers available.
Can it be replaced directly?
Direct replacement for RC0402FR-072K4L should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Best replacement path
The UNI-ROYAL 0402WGF2401TCE is the most promising direct replacement, but its power rating must be verified from the datasheet before use.
Main risk
The main risks are package mismatch, requiring a PCB layout change, or slight deviations in resistance value that could affect circuit performance.
