A 4.02kΩ, 1%, 0.25W resistor in the same 1206 package. Key parameters match the target.
RC1206FR-074K02L is a common 4.02kΩ 1% 0.25W resistor in a 1206 package. Several alternatives exist, including a pin-compatible match and parametric options with nearby resistance values.
Low for the direct match; medium for parametric alternatives due to resistance deviation.
Low for 1206 candidates; high for the 0603 option which requires a new layout.
This is a common resistor value available from multiple vendors.
Direct replacement for RC1206FR-074K02L should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The best path is using FRC1206F4021TS, which matches all key electrical and physical parameters.
The main risk when substituting is using a part with a different resistance value, which can alter circuit behavior. Package mismatches require a board redesign.
