Find substitutes for the WAFER-XH254Z-2AL, a 2-pin, 2.54mm pitch straight male header from HANBO. Review alternatives based on form, fit, and electrical parameters.

AI replacement insight

Package riskmedium

Mechanical dimensions and footprint must be verified from datasheet.

Electrical riskmedium

Some alternatives have a lower current rating (2A vs 3A).

Can it be replaced directly?

No drop-in, datasheet-verified pin-to-pin replacement has been identified. However, parts like Megastar's ZX-HA2.54-2PZZ-Y are strong candidates that require engineering review of their datasheets for dimensional compatibility.

Best replacement path

Megastar's ZX-HA2.54-2PZZ series offers a strong functional match, requiring only dimensional verification. BXCONN parts are options if a lower 2A current rating is acceptable.

Main risk

The primary risk is ensuring the substitute's mechanical dimensions and footprint match the PCB layout. A secondary risk is accepting a lower current rating with some alternatives.
