Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RT0402FRE0716R2L is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 16.2 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package Format: Must be 0402 (1005 Metric) for PCB footprint compatibility
• Power Rating: Must support minimum 0.063W (1/16W)
• Composition: Thin film construction required for performance characteristics
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -55°C to 155°C minimum
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 compliance required for regulatory alignment
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL Level 1 or equivalent for handling compatibility

The CPF0402B16R2E1 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all mandatory parameters while offering enhanced tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT0402FRE0716R2L and CPF0402B16R2E1 maintain Active product status and satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements. The CPF0402B16R2E1 provides enhanced performance specifications through tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), making it suitable for applications requiring higher precision. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific tolerance requirements and packaging format availability (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CPF0402B16R2E1 be used as a direct replacement for RT0402FRE0716R2L?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (16.2 Ohms), package format (0402), power rating (1/16W), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The CPF0402B16R2E1 offers superior tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The CPF0402B16R2E1 provides tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and improved temperature stability (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C). Both parts are functionally equivalent in 0402 package format with identical power ratings and temperature operating ranges.

Q: Are there packaging format considerations when substituting?

A: Yes. The RT0402FRE0716R2L is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the CPF0402B16R2E1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Verify that your assembly process and handling equipment support the available packaging format before procurement.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Compliance requirements are equivalent between the two parts.

Q: Which part should be selected for precision-critical applications?

A: The CPF0402B16R2E1 is recommended for applications requiring tighter tolerance control and improved temperature coefficient stability due to its ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C specification.
