HCTL
Strong functional alternative with matching key electrical and mechanical specs. Requires datasheet review for footprint confirmation.
XD-XH-3A-G is a standard 3-pin, 2.5mm pitch through-hole header used for wire-to-board connections. Many manufacturers produce functionally similar connectors, often as part of the popular XH series.
Housing and footprint dimensions must be verified from datasheets.
Most candidates have matching voltage and current ratings.
This is a common connector type with many available manufacturers.
No direct drop-in replacement is confirmed. However, parts like HCTL XH-3A-P are strong candidates that require a datasheet review to verify mechanical fit.
Cross-reference to other manufacturers' XH series 3-pin straight headers, such as HCTL XH-3A-P or ZHOURI XH-3PA.
Minor differences in mechanical dimensions (housing, pin length, footprint) could prevent a successful substitution.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | Through Hole | Through Hole | Through Hole | Through Hole | Through Hole — Mounting type matches.; XH-3PA: Mounting type matches.; XH-D-3A: Mounting type matches.; ZX-XH2.54-3PZZ-Y: Mounting type matches. |
| Pinout | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 — Pin count matches. Footprint requires datasheet verification.; XH-3PA: Pin count matches. Footprint requires datasheet verification.; XH-D-3A: Pin count matches. Footprint requires datasheet verification.; ZX-XH2.54-3PZZ-Y: Pin count matches. Footprint requires datasheet verification. |
| Pitch | 2.50mm | 2.5mm | 2.5mm | 2.5mm | 2.5mm — Pitch matches.; XH-3PA: Pitch matches.; XH-D-3A: Pitch matches.; ZX-XH2.54-3PZZ-Y: Pitch matches. MPN '2.54' is misleading, spec is 2.5mm. |
| Voltage | 250V | 250V | 250V | 250V AC/DC | 250V / 250V AC/DC — Voltage rating matches.; XH-3PA: Voltage rating matches.; XH-D-3A: Voltage rating matches.; ZX-XH2.54-3PZZ-Y: Voltage rating matches. |
