Functional alternative with different footprint and lower current rating; requires board redesign and electrical review.
The A1002WV-S-8P is an 8-pin, 1.0mm pitch vertical SMT header from CJT. Finding a direct drop-in replacement requires careful footprint and mechanical verification.
Shrouded vs. unshrouded header requires a different PCB footprint.
Some alternatives have a lower current rating (0.7A vs 1A).
No direct, pin-compatible replacements were found. All candidates require design review for footprint changes or have different electrical ratings.
The JST BM08B-SRSS series are functional alternatives but are shrouded, have a different footprint, and a lower current rating (0.7A). Review is mandatory.
The primary risk is mechanical incompatibility due to different footprints (shrouded vs. unshrouded headers). Electrical downgrade is also a concern.

Functional alternative with different footprint and lower current rating; requires board redesign and electrical review.
| Feature / factor | A1002WV-S-8P | BM08B-SRSS-TB(LF)(SN) | BM08B-SRSS-TBT(LF)(SN) | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | Vertical SMT Header | Shrouded SMT | Shrouded SMT | Shrouded SMT — Candidate is shrouded, target is not. Footprint is different.; BM08B-SRSS-TBT(LF)(SN): Candidate is shrouded, target is not. Footprint is different. | |
| Current | 1A | 0.7A | 0.7A | 0.7A — Candidate has lower current rating.; BM08B-SRSS-TBT(LF)(SN): Candidate has lower current rating. | |
| Voltage | 50V | 50V | 50V | 50V — matched; BM08B-SRSS-TBT(LF)(SN): matched | |
