A 3-position, 5.08mm pitch vertical header with matching voltage and current ratings. Verify mechanical fit before use.
Finding a substitute for the MAX MX2EDGVC-5.08-03P-GN01-Cu-A involves matching its 3-position, 5.08mm pitch, 300V/15A specification. Several functional alternatives exist, but careful verification of mechanical drawings is required to ensure proper fit.
Candidates may have different housing (open/closed sides) or dimensions. Verification of drawings is essential.
Most candidates match voltage/current, but some are downgrades (e.g., 10A vs 15A) and must be avoided in high-power designs.
Multiple manufacturers produce similar parts, offering good sourcing flexibility.
There are several strong candidates like XY2500V-C-5.08-3P that match key electrical ratings and form factor, but a direct pin-to-pin drop-in replacement requires verifying mechanical drawings to confirm dimensional interchangeability.
Use a form_fit_function candidate like XY2500V-C-5.08-3P or DB2ERC-5.08-3P-GN after verifying mechanical drawings for exact dimensions.
The primary risks are mechanical incompatibility (subtle dimensional differences, open vs. closed sides) and electrical downgrade (lower current rating).
