FOJAN
A 16kΩ 0603 resistor with significantly tighter ±0.1% tolerance. Verify power dissipation requirements.
Find and compare verified substitutes for the FOJAN FRC0603J163 TS, a 16kΩ, 5%, 0.1W, 0603 thick film resistor. Review key parametric differences and potential risks before making a substitution.
Power rating has no margin.
All candidates are 0603 package.
Multiple manufacturers available.
Direct replacement for FRC0603J163 TS should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Upgrade to a higher precision part like FRH0603B1602TS (0.1% tolerance) or RS-03K1602FT (1% tolerance) for improved accuracy.
Power rating. While candidates match the 0.1W rating, they lack a typical safety margin, requiring careful thermal analysis.
