Additional Details:

The RC0402FR-071K8L is a lead-free component, complying with RoHS standards. The power rating for this resistor is typically 1/16W (0.0625W). The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) is an important characteristic, which indicates how much the resistance changes with temperature variations. Careful consideration of the PCB layout is important for minimizing parasitic inductance and capacitance. Storage conditions should be controlled to prevent degradation of the solderability of the terminals. The resistor is commonly supplied on tape and reel for automated placement during manufacturing.
