Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Resistance value: 16.5 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C (minimum requirement)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: May be equal to or tighter than ±1%
• Power Rating: May be equal to or greater than 0.125W
• Temperature Coefficient: May be equal to or tighter than ±50ppm/°C
• Features: May include additional certifications (AEC-Q200, Anti-Sulfur) without affecting base functionality

The identified substitute parts meet all mandatory compatibility parameters and represent upgrades or equivalent alternatives across tolerance, power rating, and automotive qualification specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT0805BRD0716K5L (YAGEO Upgrade): Direct manufacturer upgrade offering tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical power rating and package specifications. Suitable for applications requiring enhanced precision without automotive qualification requirements.

2-2176093-4 (TE Connectivity Direct): Cross-manufacturer equivalent with identical resistance and tolerance to RT0805BRD0716K5L but with elevated power rating (0.25W vs 0.125W). Appropriate for designs with higher thermal margins or where TE Connectivity sourcing is preferred. Slight height variation (0.026" vs 0.024") requires PCB layout verification.

ERA-6AEB1652V (Panasonic Upgrade): Automotive AEC-Q200 qualified alternative with ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Designated for automotive and high-reliability applications where AEC-Q200 certification is mandatory. Maintains standard 0805 package footprint and 0.125W power rating.

RG2012P-1652-B-T5 (Susumi Upgrade): Automotive AEC-Q200 qualified component with anti-sulfur feature and ±0.1% tolerance. Lowest seated height (0.020" vs 0.024") among alternatives. Suitable for automotive applications with corrosive environment exposure or where Susumi sourcing is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0805BRD0716K5L replace RT0805FRE0716K5L in any application? A: Yes. RT0805BRD0716K5L is a direct upgrade offering superior tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical package, power rating, and operating temperature specifications. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between the upgrade parts and the main part? A: All substitute parts feature ±0.1% tolerance compared to the main part's ±1% tolerance, and all feature ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient compared to ±50ppm/°C. ERA-6AEB1652V and RG2012P-1652-B-T5 additionally carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. 2-2176093-4 provides doubled power rating (0.25W vs 0.125W).

Q: Are all substitute parts pin-compatible with the main part? A: Yes. All substitute parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical footprint and two terminations. Height variations (0.020" to 0.026" seated maximum) are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect electrical compatibility.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for automotive applications? A: ERA-6AEB1652V or RG2012P-1652-B-T5 are appropriate for automotive applications, as both carry AEC-Q200 qualification. RG2012P-1652-B-T5 additionally includes anti-sulfur protection for corrosive environments.

Q: Is moisture sensitivity level identical across all parts? A: Yes. All parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Can 2-2176093-4 be used in place of other substitutes despite higher power rating? A: Yes. Higher power rating (0.25W vs 0.125W) represents a design margin improvement and does not create incompatibility. The component remains electrically and mechanically compatible with all other alternatives in this list.
