Is there a pin-compatible replacement for C2012X7R1A475KT000N?

Yes, several parts like TDK C2012X7R1V475KT000E and Chinocera HGC0805R7475K500NSLJ are pin-compatible, sharing the same 0805 package and 2-pin layout. However, you should always verify the landing pad on your PCB.

What risks should I check before replacing C2012X7R1A475KT000N?

The main risk is selecting a replacement with a different dielectric material, such as X5R instead of X7R. This can lead to reduced performance at high temperatures and greater capacitance change under DC voltage bias.
