Is there a pin-compatible replacement for 0402CG0R2B500NT?

Yes, several alternatives share the same 0402 package and pinout. However, their electrical parameters like capacitance differ, so they are not direct functional replacements without review.

What risks should I check before replacing 0402CG0R2B500NT?

The main risks are changes in capacitance and tolerance. The target is a precise 0.2pF ±0.1pF capacitor. Using a part with different values can detune RF circuits, alter filter characteristics, or affect timing.
