Is there a pin-compatible replacement for KH-XH-4A-Z?

No substitute is confirmed as pin-to-pin compatible without datasheet verification. XH-4PS and ZX-XH2.54-4PZZ-Y are strong candidates for form, fit, and function, but require a mechanical drawing review to confirm the pinout and footprint.

What risks should I check before replacing KH-XH-4A-Z?

The main risks are mechanical and electrical. First, ensure the substitute is a single-row, straight header with the exact same footprint. Second, verify the voltage and current ratings are at least 250V and 3A, respectively.

KH-XH-4A-Z Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | Guangdong Hongzhi Electronics Technology Co., Ltd.

KH-XH-4A-Z is a standard 4-pin, 2.50mm pitch straight header. Several form-fit-function alternatives exist, but require verification of mechanical drawings and electrical ratings before substitution.

AI replacement insight

Package riskmedium

While pitch and positions match, the number of rows and exact footprint must be verified from datasheets to ensure PCB compatibility.

Electrical risklow

Several candidates match the 3A/250V rating, but some alternatives have missing or conflicting data that must be checked.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct drop-in replacement is confirmed. However, parts like XH-4PS and ZX-XH2.54-4PZZ-Y are strong candidates that match key electrical and physical specs, pending mechanical drawing verification.
