Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT0402FRE0716R5L is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 16.5 Ohms
• Package Format: Must be 0402 (1005 Metric) with identical physical dimensions (0.039" L x 0.020" W, 1.00mm x 0.50mm)
• Power Rating: Must be 0.063W (1/16W) or higher
• Composition: Thin film construction
• Operating Temperature Range: Must cover or exceed -55°C to 155°C
• Termination Count: 2 terminations required
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliance required

The CPF0402B16R5E1 qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and superior temperature coefficient performance (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT0402FRE0716R5L and CPF0402B16R5E1 maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific tolerance and temperature coefficient requirements. The CPF0402B16R5E1 provides tighter tolerance control (±0.1%) and improved temperature stability (±25ppm/°C), making it suitable for precision analog circuits. The RT0402FRE0716R5L remains appropriate for general-purpose applications where ±1% tolerance is acceptable. Both components are certified for unlimited moisture exposure (MSL 1) and operate identically across the full -55°C to 155°C temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CPF0402B16R5E1 be used as a direct replacement for RT0402FRE0716R5L?
