What risks should I check before replacing FRL1206JR500TS?

When substituting, verify the resistance tolerance and power rating. While some alternatives offer tighter tolerance (e.g., 1% vs 5%), ensure this doesn't negatively impact circuit behavior. Also, check secondary parameters like Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) if your application is temperature-sensitive.
