Is there a pin-compatible replacement for FRC0603F1692TS?

Yes, many 0603 chip resistors are pin-compatible. Candidates like FRC0603F1742TS share the same 0603 package and 2-pin layout. However, you must verify that their electrical parameters, especially resistance, are acceptable for your application.

What risks should I check before replacing FRC0603F1692TS?

The primary risk is resistance deviation. Ensure your circuit can tolerate values other than 16.9kΩ. Also check for any differences in temperature coefficient (TCR), voltage rating, and special features like anti-sulfuration if your application requires them.
