A 1.65kΩ 0402 resistor with superior tolerance (±0.1%) and TCR (25ppm/°C), but uses Thin Film technology instead of Thick Film.
Find and compare suitable replacements for the FOJAN FRC0402F1651TS, a 1.65kΩ 1% 0402 chip resistor. This guide reviews alternatives, highlighting differences in resistance, technology, and performance.
Most candidates have different resistance values.
All candidates share the same 0402 package.
Multiple vendors offer similar parts.
No exact drop-in replacement was found. RT0402BRD071K65L matches resistance but is an upgraded Thin Film part. Other candidates have slight resistance variations that require engineering review.
For a precision upgrade, consider RT0402BRD071K65L, but note the technology change. For minimal resistance change, RC-02K1621FT (-1.8%) and FRC0402F1691TS (+2.4%) are close parametric alternatives.
The primary risk is substituting a resistor with a different resistance value. A secondary risk involves the technology change from Thick Film to Thin Film, affecting pulse handling.
