An upgrade with much better tolerance and TCR, but uses Thin Film technology instead of Thick Film.
RC0603JR-07330KL is a general-purpose 330 kΩ, 5% tolerance, 1/10W thick film resistor in a standard 0603 package. This page provides a detailed analysis of potential alternatives, including pin-compatible options and parametric variants.
All candidates share the same 0603 package.
Variations in resistance, TCR, and technology require engineering review.
This is a high-volume commodity part with many suppliers.
Direct replacement for RC0603JR-07330KL should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
For general use, cross to FRC0603J334 TS after checking TCR. For precision needs, upgrade to RT0603BRD07330KL.
The main risk is substituting a part with a different nominal resistance or a significant change in TCR or technology without circuit validation.
