Is there a pin-compatible replacement for HC-CB1.25-8AWT?

A direct pin-compatible replacement has not been confirmed. While several parts are functionally similar, their exact PCB footprint dimensions must be verified from the datasheet to ensure mechanical compatibility before being considered pin-to-pin.

What risks should I check before replacing HC-CB1.25-8AWT?

The main risk is PCB layout incompatibility. Verify the candidate's footprint dimensions. Also, check for any differences in contact material (e.g., Brass vs. Phosphor Bronze) which can affect durability, and ensure the operating temperature range is suitable for your application.
