A functional alternative from UNI-ROYAL with the same resistance and tolerance but in a larger 0603 package.
Best Alternatives to RC0402FR-07680RL
Yageo's RC0402FR-07680RL is a standard 680Ω, 1%, 1/16W thick film resistor in a 0402 package. While no direct pin-compatible replacements were found, several functional alternatives in larger packages (0603, 0805) are available.
AI replacement insight
Package riskhigh
All viable alternatives are in larger 0603 or 0805 packages, not the target's 0402.
Electrical risklow
Electrical parameters like resistance and tolerance are matched or improved (power).
Sourcing risklow
Multiple alternatives exist from different manufacturers.
Can it be replaced directly?
No direct pin-for-pin replacements are recommended as they do not meet power safety margins. A layout change is likely required.
Best replacement path
Functional alternatives in larger packages (0603/0805) with higher power ratings.
Main risk
Package mismatch requiring PCB redesign.
