Product Overview
Susumu RR0816P-1620-D-21A is a metal thin film chip resistor in the 0603 imperial (1608 metric) package. Resistance value is 162 ohms - an E-96 precision value, not 160 ohms. Tolerance is ±0.5% (D-class) with a temperature coefficient of ±25 ppm/°C (P-class). Power rating is 0.063W (1/16W), maximum operating voltage 75V. Ni-Cr thin film construction keeps noise low and thermal drift tight, making this a direct fit for analog signal paths and precision measurement circuits where thick-film resistors fall short.

Applications
- Board-level rework on high-precision analog circuits: technician identifies a drifted resistor with a DMM, removes the failed component with a hot-air rework station, and installs this replacement on the existing 0603 pads
- Precision pull-up and feedback networks in op-amp circuits, instrumentation amplifiers, and low-noise signal conditioning stages
- High-frequency circuit design where current noise and thermal drift must be controlled across temperature swings
- Prototype and R&D builds that need stable, low-drift resistance values before committing to a final BOM
- Makers and hobbyists building precision measurement tools, audio circuits, or any analog design where a standard thick-film 0603 is not stable enough
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this 160 ohms or 162 ohms?
162 ohms. The body marking "1620" and the part number RR0816P-1620-D-21A both confirm 162 ohms - an E-96 series precision value. Buyers needing exactly 160 ohms should note this part will not meet that spec within its ±0.5% tolerance band.
What PCB footprint does this require?
Standard 0603 imperial (1608 metric) land pattern - 1.6mm x 0.8mm. Compatible with any PCB designed for the 0603 SMD footprint. Through-hole boards are not compatible without an adapter.
What is the power limit?
0.063W (1/16W). This is a low-power precision component. It is not suited for high-current or high-dissipation applications.
Why use thin film instead of thick film for this value?
Thin film construction gives tighter tolerance (±0.5% vs. ±1% or ±5% typical for thick film), lower current noise, and a much tighter TCR (±25 ppm/°C). For analog signal paths, feedback networks, and precision measurement circuits, that stability matters across temperature variation.
What is included?
Resistors on carrier tape as shown in the photos. No additional accessories.
Some resistors spend their whole life anonymously holding a voltage divider together - but put one in the right analog signal path and the circuit that was drifting finally holds. That is what 162 ohms at 25 ppm/°C quietly does for you.
