Is there a pin-compatible replacement for CGA0201C0G1R2C500ET?

Yes, both Yageo's CC0201BRNPO9BN1R2 and Fenghua's 0201CG1R2B500NT are pin-compatible replacements, sharing the same 0201 package and key electrical ratings.

What risks should I check before replacing CGA0201C0G1R2C500ET?

Ensure the replacement has 1.2pF capacitance, 50V rating, C0G/NP0 dielectric, and a 0201 package. Using a different capacitance will alter circuit behavior, and a different package will not fit the PCB.
