AI replacement insight

Package riskmedium

Footprint and housing dimensions can vary between manufacturers. Datasheet check is mandatory.

Electrical risklow

Key electrical ratings (voltage, current) are standard and easily matched.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for A2501WR-S-2P should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Cross-reference to other manufacturers offering 2.5mm pitch, 2-pin, right-angle SMT headers like XH-2AWT.

Main risk

PCB footprint and mechanical housing incompatibility.

Recommended alternatives

A 2-pin, 2.5mm pitch, right-angle SMT header with matching electrical ratings. Datasheet review is required.
