Reviewing alternatives for the Yageo RC0402FR-0740R2L, a 40.2Ω 1% 0402 chip resistor. Substitutes must match the package and power rating, and have a very close resistance value for consideration.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Resistance difference is small (<3%), but requires verification.

Package risklow

Kept candidates share the same 0402 package.

Can it be replaced directly?

No exact direct replacement was found among the candidates. The closest options have slightly different resistance values (e.g., 39.2Ω or 39.0Ω) and require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Parametric alternatives with slightly different resistance values.

Main risk

Circuit performance deviation due to resistance mismatch.
