The M24C16-RMN6TP is a 16-Kbit I2C EEPROM from STMicroelectronics in an SO8N package. Common substitutes include other parts from the M24 family with different memory densities.

AI replacement insight

Electrical risklow

Low for upgrades from the same family; high for parts with voltage mismatches.

Package risklow

All reviewed candidates use the same SO8N package.

Firmware risklow

I2C addressing for larger memory is usually backward compatible.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for M24C16-RMN6TP should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Upgrade to a higher-density EEPROM from the same ST M24 family, such as M24C64-RMN6TP.

Main risk

The primary risk is with substitutes that have a different supply voltage range or a smaller memory capacity.
