Is there a pin-compatible replacement for FRC1210F36R0TS?

Yes, several candidates like FRC1210F33R0TS and FRC1210F39R0TS share the same 1210 package and pinout. However, they are not electrically identical due to resistance differences, so they are considered parametric alternatives, not direct drop-in replacements.

What risks should I check before replacing FRC1210F36R0TS?

Before replacing, primarily check your circuit's sensitivity to the change in resistance (from 36Ω to 33Ω or 39Ω). Also, confirm that any proposed alternative matches the ±1% tolerance and 0.5W power rating, unless a downgrade is acceptable.
