This vertical header from MAX matches key specs but requires mechanical verification for a drop-in fit.
Reviewing substitutes for the XINLAIYA XY2500V-F-3.5-3P, a 3-pin, 3.5mm pitch vertical terminal block header. Key parameters for replacement are mechanical footprint, pinout, and 300V/8A rating.
Footprint and housing dimensions must be verified from datasheets.
Key electrical ratings (300V, 8A) are common and easily matched.
No drop-in replacement has been verified. However, several parts like KANGNEX WJ15EDGVC-3.5-03P-14-00A are strong functional alternates that require mechanical verification.
Use a cross-vendor vertical header like KANGNEX WJ15EDGVC-3.5-03P-14-00A, but verify mechanical drawings before use.
The primary risk is mechanical incompatibility. Minor differences in housing dimensions or pin footprint can prevent proper PCB assembly.
