Is there a pin-compatible replacement for RLSD32A121V?

Yes, SD12T1G is a pin-compatible alternative in the same 2-pin SOD-323 package. It shares the same unidirectional polarity and 12V working voltage, making it a potential drop-in replacement after verifying electrical tolerances.

What risks should I check before replacing RLSD32A121V?

When replacing RLSD32A121V, verify the candidate's polarity is unidirectional. Also check that the clamping voltage is sufficiently low and that the junction capacitance is acceptable for your signal speed. For example, SD12T1G has slightly higher capacitance.
