Is there a pin-compatible replacement for 12H1300C?

Several candidates share the 1206 package, making them physically compatible. However, no electrically identical pin-to-pin replacement was identified due to differences in current ratings.

What risks should I check before replacing 12H1300C?

The main risk is the current rating mismatch. A lower-rated fuse may trip unnecessarily, while a higher-rated fuse will not protect the circuit at the intended 3A level. Always verify the I²t rating to ensure compatibility with inrush currents.
