Excellent match with same package and electricals; offers an upgrade to AEC-Q200.
RC0402FR-076K81L is a general-purpose 6.81 kΩ 1% 1/16W thick film resistor in a 0402 package. This page provides verified alternatives, including pin-compatible upgrades and parametric options for your design.
For parametric alternatives, resistance is outside 1% tolerance and must be validated by the design engineer.
All suggested candidates use the same 0402 package, ensuring physical compatibility.
Direct replacement for RC0402FR-076K81L should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
AC0402FR-076K8L is the best path, offering a near-perfect electrical match and an upgrade to automotive grade (AEC-Q200).
The primary risk when substituting is using a part with a resistance value outside the circuit's required tolerance.
