A parametric alternative in the same 0603 package with a slightly lower resistance of 15kΩ and upgraded AEC-Q200 qualification.
RC0603FR-0716KL is a general-purpose 16kΩ, 1% tolerance, 1/10W thick film resistor in a standard 0603 package. Finding a substitute requires matching these key parameters.
Resistance and technology differences require validation.
Candidates with matching packages are available.
There is no exact drop-in replacement in the provided list. The closest candidates have a resistance of 15kΩ and require engineering review.
Look for 0603 resistors with 16kΩ resistance, 1% tolerance, and at least 1/10W power rating. A close resistance value like 15kΩ may be acceptable.
The primary risk is substituting with a resistor of a different value (e.g., 15kΩ instead of 16kΩ), which can alter circuit behavior.

| Feature / factor | RC0603FR-0716KL | AC0603FR-0715KL | RT0603BRD0715KL | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 0603 | 0603 | - | 0603 — Same package and pin count. | |
| Resistance | 16kΩ | 15kΩ | - | 15kΩ — Slightly lower resistance (-6.25%). | |
| Power | 1/10W | 1/10W | - | 1/10W — Same power rating. | |
| Tolerance | 1% | 1% | - | 0.1% — Tighter tolerance is an upgrade. | |
| Application | General | AEC-Q200 | - | AEC-Q200 — Automotive grade is an upgrade. | |
| Technology | Thick Film | - | Thin Film | Thin Film — Different technology may affect performance. | |
| Tcr | ±100 ppm/°C | - | 25 ppm/°C | 25 ppm/°C — Lower TCR is an upgrade. |
The best alternative depends on your circuit's tolerance. AC0603FR-0715KL is a 15kΩ resistor in the same package. If your design can accept a 6% resistance change, it may work. Always verify in your application.
