AI replacement insight

Package riskmedium

While package type matches, minor differences in housing dimensions or pin length can cause assembly issues.

Electrical risklow

Most candidates match the voltage and current ratings. Verify temperature range if not specified.

Sourcing risklow

This is a common connector style with many manufacturers, reducing sourcing risk.

Can it be replaced directly?

There are several potential direct replacements, but none can be confirmed as pin-to-pin without verifying mechanical dimensions from the datasheet.

Best replacement path

Use a cross-vendor 'form_fit_function' alternative like DEALON XH-D-3A or Megastar ZX-XH2.54-3PZZ-Y after verifying the datasheet.

Main risk

The primary risk is mechanical incompatibility. The PCB footprint, shroud dimensions, and pin length must match exactly.
