DORABO
A pin-compatible vertical header from DORABO with a higher current rating (10A vs 8A).
The KANGNEX WJ15EDGVC-3.81-12P-14-00A is a 12-position, 3.81mm pitch vertical through-hole terminal block header. Pin-compatible alternatives with matching or better electrical specifications are available from other manufacturers.
Candidates have matching or better electrical ratings.
One candidate has a different orientation. Footprint should always be verified for cross-vendor parts.
This is a common connector type with multiple manufacturers.
Direct replacement for WJ15EDGVC-3.81-12P-14-00A should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The strongest candidate is DB125-3.81-12P-GN-S from DORABO, which offers pin compatibility and a higher current rating.
The main risk is mechanical incompatibility, either from a different pin orientation (right-angle vs. vertical) or subtle footprint differences between vendors.
