Is there a pin-compatible replacement for PZ254R-11-02P?

No pin-compatible, right-angle replacements have been automatically verified. All identified candidates have a straight mounting style, which is not a drop-in replacement for the right-angle target part. Manual verification of mechanical drawings is required.

What risks should I check before replacing PZ254R-11-02P?

The main risk is mechanical incompatibility. The target part is a right-angle header, while most available alternatives are straight. This will not fit on a PCB designed for the original part without layout changes. Always verify datasheet dimensions.

PZ254R-11-02P Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | Dongguan Xingfei Connector Co., Ltd.

The PZ254R-11-02P is a common 2.54mm pitch, 2-pin right-angle header. While no direct pin-compatible replacements have been verified, several functional alternatives with a straight (vertical) mounting orientation are available.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

Target is right-angle, but alternatives are straight. They will not fit the same PCB footprint.

Electrical risklow

Key electrical parameters like voltage and current are matched by several candidates.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, drop-in replacement has been verified. The primary difference in available alternatives is the mounting orientation (straight vs. right-angle).

Best replacement path

Use a functional alternative with a straight mounting orientation, such as PZ254V-11-02P, but be prepared to modify the PCB layout.

Main risk

Mechanical mismatch due to different mounting orientation (straight vs. right-angle).

Recommended alternatives

A functional alternative from the same manufacturer with identical electrical specs but a straight mounting orientation.
