AI replacement insight
Package riskmedium
Housing dimensions can vary between manufacturers.
Electrical risklow
Most candidates match or exceed electrical ratings.
Can it be replaced directly?
No drop-in replacement is verified without a datasheet comparison of mechanical dimensions. However, several XH-series headers are strong candidates.
Best replacement path
Use another XH-series 1x6 2.54mm straight header like Megastar ZX-XH2.54-6PZZ or HANBO WAFER-XH254Z-6A, after verifying mechanical drawings.
Main risk
Mechanical incompatibility due to subtle differences in housing dimensions, even within the same 'XH' family from different manufacturers.
