Yageo's RC0402FR-072KL is a general-purpose 2kΩ, 1% tolerance, 1/16W thick film resistor in a standard 0402 package. This page provides verified alternatives, including pin-compatible options, upgrades, and parametric variants.

AI replacement insight

Package risklow

All recommended alternatives use the same 0402 package.

Electrical riskmedium

Risk is low for 1% parts, but high if a 5% tolerance part is used without validation.

Sourcing risklow

Multiple vendors offer compatible parts, improving availability.

Can it be replaced directly?

Yes, FRC0402F2001TS is a pin-compatible replacement with matching resistance, tolerance, power rating, and package.

Best replacement path

For a direct replacement, FRC0402F2001TS offers identical key specifications. For enhanced reliability, consider the AEC-Q200 qualified AC0402FR-072KL.

Main risk

The main risk is using a part with a wider tolerance (e.g., 5%), which could affect circuit precision. Verify your design's tolerance requirements.
