HCTL
A strong alternative with higher current rating and wider temperature range. Verify mechanical drawings for drop-in compatibility.
ZX-HA2.54-10PZZ is a 10-pin, 2.54mm pitch single-row male header from Megastar, rated for 2A and 250V. When seeking alternatives, focus on matching the 1x10 pinout and ensuring electrical ratings meet or exceed original specifications.
Pin length and housing dimensions must be verified from datasheets to ensure fit.
Most candidates meet or exceed electrical ratings, reducing risk.
No direct drop-in replacement is confirmed without datasheet verification. HCTL PZ254-1-10-Z-8.5 is a promising candidate requiring mechanical review.
Upgrade to a part with a higher current rating and wider temperature range, such as HCTL PZ254-1-10-Z-8.5, after verifying mechanical fit.
Mechanical mismatch due to differences in pin length or housing dimensions, even with the same pin count and pitch.
