Is there a pin-compatible replacement for RC0402FR-075K36L?

Yes, several 0402 package resistors are pin-compatible, such as the Yageo AC series. However, none found have the exact 5.36kΩ resistance, so they are not drop-in functional replacements.

What risks should I check before replacing RC0402FR-075K36L?

Key risks are resistance deviation from the required 5.36kΩ, and ensuring the 0.0625W power rating is sufficient for your application, as alternatives do not offer a higher rating.

RC0402FR-075K36L Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | Yageo

RC0402FR-075K36L is a general-purpose 5.36 kΩ, 1% tolerance, 0402 thick film resistor from Yageo. Finding a substitute requires careful matching of resistance, power, and package size.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Resistance mismatch requires circuit analysis.

Package risklow

0402 package is standard and compatible.

Sourcing risklow

Alternatives are from the same manufacturer and widely available.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct drop-in replacement was found. Alternatives like AC0402FR-075K6L (5.6kΩ) exist but have different resistance values requiring circuit validation.

Best replacement path

Consider automotive-grade (AEC-Q200) alternatives from the Yageo AC series, but verify resistance values as direct matches are uncommon.

Main risk

The primary risk is resistance mismatch, which can alter circuit behavior. Power rating also lacks a safety margin.

Recommended alternatives

A parametric alternative with a lower resistance (4.99kΩ) and automotive qualification.
