Is there a pin-compatible replacement for XW05202-120R-00?

No replacements are verified as pin-to-pin compatible without a detailed comparison of the datasheet's mechanical drawings. Several form-fit-function alternatives exist that require this verification.

What risks should I check before replacing XW05202-120R-00?

The main risks are mechanical incompatibility, including a different PCB footprint, connector height, or actuator clearance. Electrical differences in current rating or durability should also be checked.
