Is there a pin-compatible replacement for SDCL1005C5N1STDF?

Yes, several 0402 package inductors are pin-compatible. SDCL1005C5N6STDF from Sunlord is a close match with a slightly higher inductance of 5.6nH. Always review the datasheet to confirm electrical parameters for your specific circuit.

What risks should I check before replacing SDCL1005C5N1STDF?

The main risk is inductance mismatch. The target is 5.1nH; using a part with different inductance can detune RF circuits or affect filter performance. Also, verify the replacement's saturation current (Isat) is sufficient for your application's peak current.
