Is there a pin-compatible replacement for FRC2512J201 TS?

Yes, RC2512JK-7W200RL is a pin-compatible upgrade. Other options like RC2512FK-7W220RL and FRP2512J181 TS are also pin-compatible but have different resistance values (220Ω and 180Ω) and require engineering review.

What risks should I check before replacing FRC2512J201 TS?

The primary risk is parametric mismatch. If not using the direct upgrade, verify your circuit can tolerate a ±10% change in resistance. Also confirm the substitute's temperature coefficient and voltage rating meet your design's requirements.
