FOJAN
A pin-compatible thick film resistor from FOJAN with matching key electrical parameters.
Find substitutes for the Yageo RC0603FR-078K25L, an 8.25kΩ 1% 0.1W 0603 thick film resistor. This guide reviews pin-compatible, upgrade, and parametric alternatives to help you make the right choice.
Parametric alternatives have different resistance values; technology differences (thin vs thick film) affect performance.
All recommended candidates use the same 0603 package.
Multiple vendors (Yageo, FOJAN) offer similar parts, providing sourcing flexibility.
Direct replacement for RC0603FR-078K25L should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
For a direct replacement, consider FRC0603F8251TS. For an upgrade in precision, RT0603BRE078K25L is an option if thin film technology is acceptable.
The main risk is selecting a parametric alternative with a different resistance value without verifying circuit tolerance.
