Potential pin-to-pin replacement with identical key specs, but requires review of a data inconsistency in its power rating.
Find and compare alternatives for the RS-03K3652FT, a 36.5kΩ 1% 0.1W 0603 resistor. This guide reviews a potential pin-compatible option and several parametric alternatives, highlighting key differences in resistance, tolerance, and TCR.
All candidates share the same 0603 package, ensuring form-fit compatibility.
Most alternatives have different resistance values. The best match has a data conflict requiring verification.
Yes, FRC0603F3652TS is a potential pin-to-pin replacement for RS-03K3652FT, offering the same 36.5kΩ resistance, ±1% tolerance, and 0.1W power in an 0603 package. FAE review is recommended to confirm datasheet details.
FRC0603F3652TS from FOJAN is the strongest candidate, matching all key electrical parameters and package. However, a data inconsistency in its power rating requires datasheet verification before use.
The primary risk is substituting with a part of a different resistance value, which could alter circuit behavior. Several alternatives have resistance values from 33.2kΩ to 39.2kΩ and require engineering validation.
