Is there a pin-compatible replacement for FRC0805F20R0TS?

Yes, Yageo RT0805BRD0720RL is a strong candidate. It shares the same 0805 package, 20Ω resistance, and 0.125W power rating, while offering superior tolerance and TCR, making it a safe upgrade.

What risks should I check before replacing FRC0805F20R0TS?

Before replacing FRC0805F20R0TS, check the required resistance tolerance. The target is a ±1% part. Using a ±5% alternative can impact the accuracy of your circuit. Also, verify if a small change in resistance (e.g., to 22Ω) is acceptable for your design.
