Is there a pin-compatible replacement for WJ15EDGRC-3.81-07P-14-00A?

No fully verified pin-compatible replacement is currently cataloged. While other parts have the same pin count and pitch, their orientation (vertical) is different, making them mechanically incompatible without a board redesign. A potential right-angle alternative like Phoenix Contact 1803329 requires footprint verification.

What risks should I check before replacing WJ15EDGRC-3.81-07P-14-00A?

The main risk is mechanical incompatibility. The target is a right-angle header, and available alternatives are vertical. Using a vertical part requires a different PCB layout and enclosure clearance. Always verify the candidate's datasheet for exact footprint dimensions before ordering.

WJ15EDGRC-3.81-07P-14-00A Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | KANGNEX

WJ15EDGRC-3.81-07P-14-00A is a 7-position, 3.81mm pitch right-angle terminal block header. Finding a suitable replacement requires careful matching of its mechanical orientation and PCB footprint.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

Orientation (vertical vs. right-angle) is a critical mismatch with all cataloged candidates.

Electrical risklow

Key electrical ratings (voltage, current) are matched by several candidates.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, verified drop-in replacement has been identified. All current candidates have a different mechanical orientation and are not form-fit compatible.

Best replacement path

Investigate cross-vendor right-angle headers with the same 7-position, 3.81mm pitch, such as Phoenix Contact 1803329, and verify footprint from datasheets.

Main risk

The primary risk is mechanical incompatibility. Using a vertical header in a design intended for a right-angle one will fail unless the PCB and enclosure are redesigned.

Recommended alternatives

Electrically compatible but has a vertical orientation, requiring layout and enclosure review.
