Is there a pin-compatible replacement for ARG06DTC1501?

Yes, RT1206BRD071K5L is a pin-compatible replacement in the same 1206 package. It has the same footprint, resistance, and power rating, making it a candidate for direct substitution.

What risks should I check before replacing ARG06DTC1501?

The primary risk is using a resistor with worse tolerance (e.g., 1% or 5%), higher TCR (e.g., 100ppm/°C), or different technology (thick film). This can degrade circuit accuracy, stability, and noise performance.
