A potential cross-vendor replacement with matching specs. Footprint verification is required.
WJ15EDGVC-3.81-05P-14-00A is a 5-position, 3.81mm pitch vertical terminal block header. Alternatives exist but require careful review of mechanical orientation and footprint to ensure compatibility.
Orientation and footprint must be verified.
Electrical ratings are well-matched across candidates.
Direct replacement for WJ15EDGVC-3.81-05P-14-00A should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The strongest candidate is DB2EVC-3.81-5P-GN from DORABO, which appears to be a form-fit-function match, but requires datasheet verification of the PCB footprint.
The primary risk is mechanical incompatibility. Candidates may have a different mounting orientation (right-angle vs. vertical) or slight variations in footprint dimensions between manufacturers.

| Package | Vertical Header | Vertical Header (unverified) | Right-Angle Header | Vertical Header (unverified) / Right-Angle Header — Appears to match orientation, but footprint must be verified from datasheet.; WJ15EDGRC-3.81-05P-14-00A: Candidate is right-angle, target is vertical. Not a drop-in replacement. | |
| Voltage | 160V | 250V | 300V | 250V / 300V — IEC voltage rating is higher.; WJ15EDGRC-3.81-05P-14-00A: UL voltage rating matches. | |
| Current | 8A | 8A | 8A | 8A — UL current rating matches.; WJ15EDGRC-3.81-05P-14-00A: UL current rating matches. |
Verified drop-in options for WJ15EDGVC-3.81-05P-14-00A are limited in the current batch. Review candidates marked Strong match or Datasheet verified, and validate package, pinout, and electrical limits before committing a BOM change.
