Is there a pin-compatible replacement for 0402WGF2611TCE?

Yes, several resistors like FRC0402F2551TS and AC0402FR-072K7L share the same 0402 package and are pin-compatible. However, they have slightly different resistance values (e.g., 2.55kΩ or 2.7kΩ vs 2.61kΩ), so they are considered parametric alternatives, not direct drop-in replacements.

What risks should I check before replacing 0402WGF2611TCE?

The primary risk is the change in resistance. Verify how a deviation from 2.61kΩ (e.g., to 2.55kΩ or 2.7kΩ) affects your circuit's timing, biasing, or feedback loops. Also, confirm that power rating, temperature coefficient, and voltage ratings are adequate for your design.
