A 6-pin, 5.08mm pitch right-angle header with identical electrical ratings but a minor mechanical difference (closed-back).
WJ2EDGR-5.08-06P-14-00A is a 6-pin, 5.08mm pitch right-angle terminal block header. While no drop-in replacement is confirmed, several functional and form-fit alternatives are available with minor mechanical differences.
Candidates have different orientations or housing styles requiring layout verification.
Strong candidates with matching voltage, current, pitch, and pin count are available.
Direct replacement for WJ2EDGR-5.08-06P-14-00A should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
WJ2EDGRC-5.08-06P-14-00A is the strongest candidate, offering identical electrical specs. However, it has a closed-back housing, which requires verification of the PCB footprint for mechanical compatibility.
The primary risk is mechanical incompatibility. Substitutes may have a different orientation (vertical vs. right-angle) or minor housing differences (open vs. closed back) that affect PCB layout.
