Yageo
An automotive-grade (AEC-Q200) alternative in the same 0402 package with a tighter tolerance (±1%).
Finding a substitute for the Yageo RC0402JR-071ML 1MΩ 5% 0402 resistor involves matching key electrical parameters and package size. Several pin-compatible upgrades and functional alternatives are available.
Several alternatives are in different packages (0603) and are not drop-in replacements.
Many candidates match or exceed the target's electrical specifications.
Direct replacement for RC0402JR-071ML 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 RC0402JR-071ML, then review parametric alternatives for package and electrical fit.
The main risk is selecting a part with a different package size (e.g., 0603), which requires a board layout change.
