Is there a pin-compatible replacement for RC0805JR-071K5L?

Yes, AC0805FR-071K5L is a pin-compatible replacement. Other parts like TC0525B1501T5G are also pin-compatible but use a different resistor technology (thin film) that requires engineering review.

What risks should I check before replacing RC0805JR-071K5L?

Before replacing, check if your circuit can accept a tighter tolerance (e.g., ±1% vs ±5%). If considering a thin film resistor, verify its pulse handling capability is sufficient for your application.
