Can it be replaced directly?
Direct replacement for 0603WAF1693T5E should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Best replacement path
Prefer an exact 169 kΩ 0603 part; otherwise validate the 162 kΩ options first.
Main risk
Resistance value shift changes circuit behavior.
