Find and compare substitutes for the Yageo RT0402BRD0740K2L, a 40.2kΩ 0.1% 25ppm/°C thin film resistor in an 0402 package. Review parametric alternatives and assess risks for your application.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskhigh

High risk if substitute has different resistance, tolerance, or TCR.

Package risklow

Low risk as all candidates are in the same 0402 package.

Sourcing risklow

Low risk as alternatives are available from major manufacturers.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, drop-in replacement with identical key parameters was identified. All suitable alternatives require a parametric trade-off, most commonly in the resistance value.

Best replacement path

Use another part from the Yageo RT0402BRD series, like RT0402BRD0739KL (39kΩ) or RT0402BRD0743KL (43kΩ), if your circuit can tolerate a small resistance deviation.

Main risk

The primary risk is performance degradation from using a part with a different resistance value, a looser tolerance, or a higher TCR, which is critical for precision applications.
