Is there a pin-compatible replacement for KT-0805G?

Yes, A-SP170SGHC-A01-4C is pin-compatible in the same 0805 package. While the form factor matches, you must review the electrical differences, particularly the luminous intensity, before substitution.

What risks should I check before replacing KT-0805G?

The primary risk is a mismatch in luminous intensity (brightness), as test currents vary between manufacturers. Also, check the forward voltage range to ensure it's compatible with your driver circuit. The candidate A-SP170SGHC-A01-4C may be dimmer.
