Finding a substitute for the Yageo RC0402FR-0716K9L 16.9kΩ resistor involves balancing resistance, tolerance, and power rating. Several parametric alternatives exist that require engineering review for power dissipation and resistance tolerance.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Candidates match power rating but do not provide an increased safety margin per internal rules. Resistance may also vary.

Package risklow

All suggested candidates use the same 0402 package, ensuring physical compatibility.

Can it be replaced directly?

No verified direct drop-in replacement exists without review. RC-02K1692FT is the closest parametric match but requires power dissipation analysis.

Best replacement path

Use RC-02K1692FT for its matching resistance, but confirm power requirements. If unavailable, use a close-value Yageo part like RC0402FR-0716K5L after verifying circuit tolerance.

Main risk

The primary risk is insufficient power derating, as available matches do not meet the conservative 1.5x power rule, potentially reducing long-term reliability under high stress.
