A 10-pin, 2.54mm pitch through-hole header from the same manufacturer with matching key electrical specifications.
ZX-IDC2.54-2-5PZZ is a 10-pin, 2.54mm pitch through-hole male header from Megastar. Alternatives typically exist within the same manufacturer series, but require verification of mechanical details.
Low risk, but requires verification of housing details due to part number suffix difference.
Low risk, as key electrical ratings like current and temperature match.
Direct replacement for ZX-IDC2.54-2-5PZZ should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Look for variants within the Megastar ZX-IDC2.54 series, such as ZX-IDC2.54-2-5PWZ.
Mechanical mismatch due to subtle differences in the connector housing or shroud, despite matching pitch and pinout.
