Is there a pin-compatible replacement for ZX-ZH1.5-WZ6P?

JST S6B-ZR(LF)(SN) is mechanically pin-compatible (6-pin, 1.5mm pitch, right-angle), but its voltage rating is only 50V versus the target's 250V, making it a high-risk electrical downgrade. A true pin-to-pin replacement requires datasheet verification of dimensions and all electrical ratings.

What risks should I check before replacing ZX-ZH1.5-WZ6P?

Key risks include: 1) Mounting Type (vertical vs. right-angle), 2) Voltage Rating (must be >= 250V), and 3) Pinout and mechanical dimensions. Always verify the substitute's datasheet against your PCB layout and system requirements.

ZX-ZH1.5-WZ6P Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | Megastar

Finding a substitute for the Megastar ZX-ZH1.5-WZ6P, a 6-pin 1.5mm pitch right-angle header, requires careful checking of mounting style and voltage rating. Alternatives exist but may have different orientations or electrical specifications.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

Candidates may have different mounting orientations (vertical vs. right-angle).

Electrical riskhigh

One candidate has a critically lower voltage rating (50V vs 250V).

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, risk-free replacement was found. The closest options have either a different mounting style (vertical) or a critically lower voltage rating.

Best replacement path

Cross-reference to another manufacturer's 1.5mm pitch, 6-pin, right-angle header with a 250V or higher rating.

Main risk

The main risks are incorrect mechanical fit (mounting angle) and severe electrical under-rating (voltage).

Recommended alternatives

A functional alternative with the same pin count and pitch, but with a vertical mounting style instead of right-angle.
