Is there a pin-compatible replacement for GCM188R91H473KA37D?

Yes, GCJ188R92A473KA01D is a pin-compatible upgrade. Other parts like AC0603KRX7R9BB473 are pin-compatible but have a lower temperature rating that requires engineering review.

What risks should I check before replacing GCM188R91H473KA37D?

The primary risk is the dielectric type. Ensure any replacement has an X8R dielectric for 150°C operation. Using an X7R part limits the temperature to 125°C, which may not be suitable for the original design.
