Is there a pin-compatible replacement for FRC1206J6R2 TS?

Yes, FRC1206F6R20TS is a pin-compatible upgrade. Other candidates share the 1206 package but have different resistance values (e.g., 5.6Ω or 6.8Ω), requiring circuit analysis before use.

What risks should I check before replacing FRC1206J6R2 TS?

Verify the substitute's resistance, power rating, tolerance, and temperature coefficient (TCR). The most critical check is ensuring the circuit can tolerate any deviation from the original 6.2Ω resistance value.
