Is there a pin-compatible replacement for FRC0603F1623TS?

Yes, several 0603 package resistors are pin-compatible, such as FRC0603F1603TS. However, they are parametric alternatives, not direct drop-in replacements, due to slight differences in resistance.

What risks should I check before replacing FRC0603F1623TS?

The primary risk is the change in resistance. For FRC0603F1603TS, the resistance is 160kΩ vs 162kΩ. Ensure this deviation is within your circuit's tolerance. Also verify that power, voltage, and temperature ratings are sufficient.
