Yageo
Automotive-grade pin-compatible upgrade from the same manufacturer with tighter ±1% tolerance.
Find verified substitutes for the Yageo RC0603JR-076K8L, a 6.8kΩ 5% 0.1W 0603 thick film resistor. This guide provides pin-compatible upgrades and parametric alternatives.
For 1% upgrades, risk is low. For parametric alternatives, risk is medium to high.
All suggested candidates use the same 0603 package.
Yes, several manufacturers offer 0603 resistors with 6.8kΩ or 6.81kΩ resistance, 0.1W power, and tighter ±1% tolerance, which are strong upgrade candidates.
Upgrade to a 1% tolerance version like Yageo's RC0603FR-076K81L or the automotive-grade AC0603FR-076K8L for improved precision.
The primary risk is using a part with a different nominal resistance value, which requires circuit analysis.
