AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Low if key parameters match. Medium if resistance or TCR differs.

Package risklow

1206 is a standard, widely available package.

Sourcing risklow

This is a common resistor value with many manufacturers.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for RS-06K3601FT should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Direct replacement with another 1206, 3.6kΩ, 1%, 0.25W thick film resistor like Yageo RC1206FR-073K6L.

Main risk

The main risk is substituting with a part that has an unverified or different Temperature Coefficient (TCR), which can affect circuit stability.
