AI replacement insight

Electrical riskhigh

Resistance, tolerance, and TCR differences will impact precision circuits.

Package risklow

All candidates share the same 0402 package, ensuring physical compatibility.

Can it be replaced directly?

No, a direct, drop-in replacement was not found. All candidates have different resistance values and/or worse electrical characteristics.

Best replacement path

Search for a 3.16kΩ, ±0.1%, 5 ppm/°C, 0402 resistor. If unavailable, RT0402BRD073K24L is the closest option but requires analysis.

Main risk

The primary risk is performance degradation due to incorrect resistance value and increased temperature instability (worse TCR).
