Is there a pin-compatible replacement for XY2500R-C-5.08-2P?

No direct pin-compatible replacement has been verified. Candidates like Phoenix Contact 1757242 have a similar right-angle footprint but a lower current rating (12A vs 15A), requiring circuit evaluation. Always verify datasheet dimensions before ordering.

What risks should I check before replacing XY2500R-C-5.08-2P?

Key risks are: 1) Mismatched orientation (right-angle vs. vertical), 2) Lower current rating (e.g., 10A or 12A vs. the required 15A), and 3) Different mechanical features like locking flanges that can affect PCB fit.

Finding a substitute for the XINLAIYA XY2500R-C-5.08-2P 2-position right-angle header requires checking orientation, current rating, and footprint. Several alternatives exist, but all require careful engineering review before use.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskhigh

Many alternatives have lower current ratings.

Package riskmedium

Orientation (vertical vs. right-angle) and mechanical features often differ.

Can it be replaced directly?

No verified direct drop-in replacement is available. All candidates have differences in orientation or electrical ratings that require review.

Best replacement path

If board layout can change, the vertical XY2500V-C-5.08-2P is the best functional match. Otherwise, evaluate right-angle parts like 1757242, accepting a current downgrade.

Main risk

The main risk is using a substitute with a lower current rating (e.g., 10A or 12A vs 15A), which could cause overheating or failure.

Recommended alternatives

Electrically identical same-series part, but with a vertical orientation instead of right-angle.
