Is there a pin-compatible replacement for FRC0805F1693TS?

Yes, parts like 0805W8F1743T5E are pin-compatible as they use the same 0805 package. However, they are not electrically identical, so they are considered parametric alternatives, not drop-in replacements.

What risks should I check before replacing FRC0805F1693TS?

Before replacing, verify your circuit's tolerance to a small resistance change (e.g., 169kΩ to 174kΩ). Also, confirm that the 0.125W power rating is sufficient, as alternatives do not offer an increased power margin.
