Is there a pin-compatible replacement for 0201WMF7501TEE?

No pin-compatible replacements have been verified. While other 0201 resistors exist, they do not meet the required power rating safety factor. Alternatives in larger packages (0603, 1206) are available but are not pin-compatible.

What risks should I check before replacing 0201WMF7501TEE?

The primary risk is physical incompatibility. Alternatives have different package sizes (e.g., 0603, 1206) and will not fit on a PCB designed for a 0201 component without layout modification. Always verify the substitute's full datasheet.
