HCTL
A form-fit alternate from HCTL, but with a lower voltage rating (50V). Footprint verification is required.
Finding a substitute for the CJT A1501WR-S-4P requires careful attention to its 100V rating. While many form-fit compatible 1.5mm pitch headers exist, most are only rated for 50V, posing a significant electrical risk if not properly vetted for the application.
All similar parts found are rated for 50V, half of the target's 100V rating.
Candidates are based on the same JST ZH series standard, but footprint verification is still advised.
No direct, 1:1 replacement with a 100V rating was found. All form-fit compatible alternatives have a lower voltage rating of 50V.
Use a form-fit compatible alternative like S4B-ZR-SM4A-TF(LF)(SN), but only if the application's maximum voltage is below 50V.
Electrical overstress due to the lower voltage rating (50V) of all viable alternatives compared to the target's 100V rating.

| Pitch | 1.50 mm | 1.5mm | 1.5mm | 1.5mm — matched; S4B-ZR-SM4A-TF(LF)(SN): matched | |
| Voltage | 100V | 50V | 50V | 50V — Candidate voltage rating is lower.; S4B-ZR-SM4A-TF(LF)(SN): Candidate voltage rating is lower. | |

| Temperature | Not specified | -40°C to +105°C | -25°C to +85°C | -40°C to +105°C / -25°C to +85°C — Wider operating range than typical.; S4B-ZR-SM4A-TF(LF)(SN): Target operating range not specified. |
The best alternatives are S4B-ZR-SM4A-TF(LF)(SN) by JST or HC-ZH-4PWT by HCTL. However, both have a lower voltage rating of 50V compared to the original's 100V. This substitution is only safe if your circuit operates well below 50V.
