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.

Questions & answers

The best alternative depends on design flexibility. For a replacement from the same series, consider RC0805FR-07680RL, but it requires a larger 0805 footprint. Other 0603 options like FRC0603F6800TS also exist.
