Is there a pin-compatible replacement for TCC0603X5R225K250CT?

Yes, TCC0603X5R225K500CT and GRM188R61E225MA12D share the same 0603 package. However, the former has a higher voltage and the latter has a wider tolerance (±20%), so both require review.

What risks should I check before replacing TCC0603X5R225K250CT?

Verify the package size (0603), capacitance (2.2µF), voltage rating (≥25V), and tolerance (≤±10%). Some alternatives have different packages or wider tolerance, which can impact performance and require board changes.
