Is there a pin-compatible replacement for 0402WGF1963TCE?

Yes, several 0402 package resistors are pin-compatible in form factor. However, electrical parameters like resistance may differ. FRC0402F1963TS has the same nominal resistance but needs data verification to be confirmed as a drop-in replacement.

What risks should I check before replacing 0402WGF1963TCE?

The main risk is resistance mismatch. Candidates range from 178kΩ to 200kΩ. Verify your circuit's tolerance to this change. Also, confirm power rating, temperature coefficient (TCR), and voltage ratings from the datasheet.
