Is there a pin-compatible replacement for WJ2EDGRM-5.08-06P-14-00A?

Currently, no pin-compatible replacement has been confirmed. Candidates found so far have a different mounting orientation (vertical vs. right-angle), which makes them mechanically incompatible without a board redesign.

What risks should I check before replacing WJ2EDGRM-5.08-06P-14-00A?

Before replacing, you must verify the mounting orientation (right-angle), the exact PCB footprint dimensions, and overall mechanical clearance. Electrical ratings like voltage (300V+) and current (10A+) are also critical.

WJ2EDGRM-5.08-06P-14-00A Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | KANGNEX

WJ2EDGRM-5.08-06P-14-00A is a 6-position, 5.08mm pitch right-angle plug-in terminal block header. Finding a substitute requires matching the right-angle orientation, pitch, and electrical ratings.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

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

Electrical risklow

Voltage and current ratings are standard and easy to match.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct pin-to-pin replacements have been verified. Known alternatives have a different (vertical) mounting orientation, requiring PCB layout changes.

Best replacement path

Search for 6-pin, 5.08mm pitch, right-angle headers from other vendors (e.g., Phoenix Contact MSTBA series), verifying footprint dimensions.

Main risk

The primary risk is mechanical incompatibility. The target is a right-angle header, and many similar parts are vertical, which will not fit.

Recommended alternatives

A functional alternative with identical electrical ratings and pitch, but a different mounting orientation (vertical).
