AI replacement insight
Package riskmedium
Housing dimensions, keying, and exact pin lengths must be verified from datasheets to ensure proper fit and mating.
Electrical risklow
Most alternatives match the 3A/250V rating, but options with lower ratings or different plating exist and must be avoided or reviewed.
Sourcing risklow
This is a common connector type with multiple manufacturers, making sourcing generally easy.
Can it be replaced directly?
There are several strong candidates like WAFER-XH2.54-5PJK that match key electrical specs, but a direct pin-to-pin replacement requires verifying mechanical dimensions from the datasheets.
Best replacement path
Use a cross-vendor XH 2.54mm family part like XUNPU's WAFER-XH2.54-5PJK or Megastar's ZX-XH2.54-5PJK after verifying mechanical drawings.
Main risk
The primary risk is mechanical incompatibility. While pitch and pin count match, the plastic housing dimensions (height, width, keying) can vary between manufacturers.
