Yageo
Parametric alternative from the same series with slightly higher resistance (41.2kΩ vs 40.2kΩ).
Yageo's RC0402FR-0740K2L is a common 40.2kΩ 1% 0402 chip resistor. Alternatives exist from Yageo with slightly different resistance values and from other vendors with different package sizes or identical parameters.
Functional alternatives are in larger 0603 or 0805 packages and require layout changes.
Parametric alternatives have slightly different resistance values that must be validated for the application.
Direct replacement for RC0402FR-0740K2L should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Use a parametric alternative from the same Yageo RC series, like RC0402FR-0741K2L, after verifying the resistance change is acceptable.
The main risks are physical incompatibility with larger packages or slight electrical shifts from different resistance values.
