Is there a pin-compatible replacement for GCM1885C2A100JA16D?

Yes, GCM1885C2A100FA16D is a pin-compatible replacement in the same 0603 package. Other 0603 capacitors with the same electrical ratings are also pin-compatible, but you must verify their qualifications (e.g., AEC-Q200) for your application.

What risks should I check before replacing GCM1885C2A100JA16D?

The most critical risk is failing to match the AEC-Q200 qualification if used in an automotive application. Also, ensure the replacement has a C0G/NP0 dielectric, a 100V or higher voltage rating, and a 0603 package.
