FOJAN
A strong pin-compatible candidate with matching resistance, tolerance, power, and 0805 package.
Find verified substitutes and alternatives for the FH RS-05K3601FT, a 3.6kΩ 1% 0.125W 0805 thick film resistor. Compare pin-compatible parts and parametric alternatives from leading manufacturers.
Low for pin-to-pin matches, Medium for alternatives with different tolerance or resistance.
All suggested candidates are in the standard 0805 package.
This is a common resistor value with multiple sources available.
Direct replacement for RS-05K3601FT should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The most direct path is a cross-vendor pin-to-pin match like FRC0805F3601TS, which shares all key electrical parameters.
The main risk is using a part with a wider tolerance (e.g., ±5%), which could affect circuit precision. This is a downgrade risk.
