Potential pin-compatible substitute with identical key electrical specifications and 0402 package.
Yageo's RC0402FR-076K8L is a general-purpose 6.8kΩ 1% 0.0625W resistor in a standard 0402 package. This page provides a detailed analysis of potential substitutes, including pin-compatible options and functional alternatives.
Low for matched parts; medium for parametric alternatives where resistance differs.
Low for 0402 parts; high for 0603/0805 parts requiring a board spin.
Multiple vendors produce similar 6.8kΩ 0402 resistors, mitigating sourcing risk.
Direct replacement for RC0402FR-076K8L should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Start with Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates for RC0402FR-076K8L, then review parametric alternatives for package and electrical fit.
The main risk is ensuring the substitute's real-world performance, especially power dissipation and long-term reliability, matches the Yageo part in your specific application.
