Finding a replacement for the JST B03B-XASK-1N(LF)(SN) 3-pin header involves checking both PCB footprint and mating compatibility. Several alternatives exist with the same footprint but belong to the different XH connector series, requiring careful review.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

Connector series mismatch (XA vs. XH) prevents mating with original housing.

Electrical risklow

Voltage, current, and temperature ratings are well-matched.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct drop-in replacement has been identified. While many parts have a compatible PCB footprint, they belong to the different XH series and are not mating-compatible with the target's XA series.

Best replacement path

Find a substitute within the JST XA series or replace both male and female connectors with a new pair from a common series like XH.

Main risk

Mating Incompatibility: Substitutes from the XH series will not connect with the original XA series female housing.
