Yageo
A parametric alternative with the closest resistance value, but a different TCR.
Find alternatives for the Yageo RT0402BRA073K16L, a 3.16kΩ 0.1% 0402 precision resistor. This page analyzes parametric alternatives and highlights key differences to consider before substitution.
Resistance, tolerance, and TCR differences will impact precision circuits.
All candidates share the same 0402 package, ensuring physical compatibility.
No, a direct, drop-in replacement was not found. All candidates have different resistance values and/or worse electrical characteristics.
Search for a 3.16kΩ, ±0.1%, 5 ppm/°C, 0402 resistor. If unavailable, RT0402BRD073K24L is the closest option but requires analysis.
The primary risk is performance degradation due to incorrect resistance value and increased temperature instability (worse TCR).
