AI replacement insight
Package risklow
The 0402 package is standardized, making physical replacement straightforward.
Electrical riskmedium
Tolerance, technology (thin/thick film), and TCR differences can affect performance.
Can it be replaced directly?
UNI-ROYAL's 0402WGF5111TCE is a strong candidate, matching key specs, but its 5.11kΩ resistance value should be verified for the application.
Best replacement path
For higher precision, upgrade to a thin film resistor like Yageo's RT0402BRD075K1L for tighter tolerance (0.1%) and stability (25ppm/°C TCR).
Main risk
The main risk is substituting with a part that has a wider tolerance (e.g., 5%) or a different technology without verifying circuit impact.
