Is there a pin-compatible replacement for WJ2EDGVM-5.08-02P-14-00A?

Phoenix Contact 1755736 is likely pin-compatible as it shares the same vertical orientation, pin count, and pitch. However, you should always verify the datasheet's mechanical drawing against your PCB layout to confirm a perfect fit.

What risks should I check before replacing WJ2EDGVM-5.08-02P-14-00A?

First, confirm the mounting orientation; the replacement must be a vertical header. Second, ensure the voltage and current ratings are equal or greater (300V/10A UL). Finally, check the mechanical drawing for footprint compatibility.

AI replacement insight

Package riskmedium

Orientation (vertical) must be matched. Several candidates are right-angle.

Electrical risklow

Strong alternatives with matching or better voltage/current ratings are available.

Sourcing risklow

This is a common connector type with multiple manufacturers.

Can it be replaced directly?

No drop-in replacement is confirmed without a detailed PCB layout comparison, but Phoenix Contact 1755736 is a very strong form, fit, and functional alternative.

Best replacement path

The Phoenix Contact 1755736 from the MSTBVA family is a strong candidate, offering matching form factor and equal or better electrical ratings.

Main risk

The main risk is mechanical incompatibility. Many parts share the same pitch and pin count but differ in orientation (vertical vs. right-angle) or exact pin-to-housing dimensions.

Recommended alternatives

A vertical 2-pin 5.08mm header from a major brand with matching voltage and higher current rating.
