FOJAN
A 5.23kΩ resistor in the same 0402 package, but with lower precision (±1% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C TCR).
Finding a substitute for the Yageo RT0402BRD075K23L, a 5.23kΩ 0.1% 0402 thin film resistor, requires careful attention to precision. While no exact drop-in is found, several parametric alternatives exist.
Mismatches in resistance, tolerance, and TCR can impact circuit performance.
All viable candidates use the same 0402 package.
The target's value (5.23k) is less common than standard E96 values (5.11k), making alternatives easier to source.
No direct, one-to-one replacement with identical specifications was found. All candidates require a trade-off in either resistance value or precision (tolerance/TCR).
Use a high-precision 5.1kΩ 0.1% resistor like RT0402BRD075K1L and verify if the ~2.5% resistance deviation is acceptable for the application.
The primary risk is performance degradation due to mismatched resistance, tolerance, or TCR, as the target is a high-precision component.
