Yageo
Strong parametric alternative with a very close resistance value (16.5kΩ vs 16.9kΩ).
RT0603BRD0716K9L is a 16.9 kΩ, 0.1% tolerance, 0603 thin-film chip resistor from Yageo. This page provides analysis of potential alternatives, focusing on parametric variations within the same product family.
Resistance value differs slightly. Tolerance, TCR, and power match.
All candidates share the same 0603 package.
No exact drop-in replacement is listed, but several parametrically similar parts from the same manufacturer are available. These require engineering review for the resistance value change.
Use a nearby E96 series value from the same Yageo RT series, such as RT0603BRD0716K5L (16.5kΩ).
The primary risk is the slight deviation in resistance value, which could affect the performance of precision analog circuits, filters, or voltage dividers.
