An excellent alternative from the same manufacturer series with a very close resistance of 162kΩ.
Find suitable alternatives for the FRC0402F1603TS, a 160kΩ 1% 0402 thick film resistor. This guide reviews potential replacements, highlighting key parametric differences to ensure design compatibility.
Resistance value differences require circuit tolerance analysis.
All candidates share the same 0402 package.
Direct replacement for FRC0402F1603TS should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Use a 1% thick film 0402 resistor with a resistance value as close to 160kΩ as possible, such as 162kΩ, after verifying circuit tolerance.
The primary risk is the slight deviation in resistance value, which could affect circuit performance in precision applications like voltage dividers or filter networks.
