RT0402FRE0716R9L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT0402FRE0716R9L is a 16.9 Ohm thin film chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO in the 0402 (1005 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.063W (1/16W) power dissipation with ±1% tolerance and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained within the allowed parameter tolerances for this resistor category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT0402FRE0716R9L is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 16.9 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0402 (1005 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.063W minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass -55°C to 155°C
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: Must not exceed 0.039" L x 0.020" W and 0.014" height maximum

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: May be equal to or tighter than ±1%
• Temperature coefficient: May be equal to or lower than ±50ppm/°C

The CPF0402B16R9E1 qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains all mandatory matching parameters while offering improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and superior temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT0402FRE0716R9L (Primary Part):

• ROHS3 compliant
• REACH unaffected status
• Moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited)
• Active production status with 857 units in stock

CPF0402B16R9E1 (Substitute Part):

• RoHS non-compliant
• REACH unaffected status
• Moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited)
• Active production status with 5261 units in stock
• Offers tighter tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%)
• Provides superior temperature coefficient performance (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C)

Selection between these parts depends on regulatory compliance requirements. The RT0402FRE0716R9L is required for applications mandating ROHS3 compliance. The CPF0402B16R9E1 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and where improved tolerance and temperature stability are beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CPF0402B16R9E1 be used as a direct replacement for RT0402FRE0716R9L?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained. Both parts share identical resistance value (16.9 Ohms), power rating (0.063W), package format (0402), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The substitute offers improved tolerance and temperature coefficient. Regulatory compliance differences must be evaluated for your specific application requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between these two 16.9 Ohm 0402 resistors?

A: The primary differences are tolerance specification (±1% versus ±0.1%), temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C versus ±25ppm/°C), and RoHS compliance status. Both maintain identical physical dimensions, power rating, and operating temperature range.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.039" L x 0.020" W (1.00mm x 0.50mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.014" (0.35mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in PCB layouts designed for 0402 (1005 Metric) package format.

Q: What does the ±0.1% tolerance on the substitute part mean?

A: The CPF0402B16R9E1 maintains its 16.9 Ohm resistance value within ±0.1% of the nominal specification, compared to ±1% for the RT0402FRE0716R9L. This represents a tighter tolerance band and improved resistance accuracy.

Q: Are both parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. Both the RT0402FRE0716R9L and CPF0402B16R9E1 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format suitable for automated assembly processes.
