Megastar
Strong parametric match from the same manufacturer; requires mechanical verification for drop-in use.
ZX-PZ2.54-1-16PZZ is a 16-pin, 2.54mm pitch straight male header from Megastar. Key considerations for finding a replacement include matching the pin count, pitch, straight through-hole mounting, and critical pin dimensions.
Pin lengths and insulator height must be verified from datasheets.
Key electrical parameters like current and voltage are standard and easily matched.
Direct replacement for ZX-PZ2.54-1-16PZZ should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Start with ZX-PM2.54-1-16PY from the same manufacturer, verifying pin dimensions. If unavailable, consider cross-vendor options with strict dimensional checks.
Mechanical mismatch, specifically pin length and insulator dimensions, could prevent proper assembly or mating.
