Strong alternative with matching key specs. Minor difference in contact material. Verify mechanicals.
HCZZ0126-3 is a common 3-pin, 2.5mm pitch through-hole header. Many cross-vendor alternatives from the popular XH connector family exist, offering flexibility in sourcing after a simple datasheet check for mechanical fit.
Footprint and housing dimensions must be verified via datasheet.
Key ratings (250V, 3A) are standard and matched by most alternatives.
This is a common connector type with many available manufacturers.
No drop-in replacement is verified without a datasheet comparison, but several parts are strong form, fit, and functional candidates.
Use cross-vendor XH-series connectors like DEALON XH-D-3A or ZHOURI XH-3PA after verifying mechanical drawings.
Minor variations in mechanical dimensions (footprint, height, pin length) across different manufacturers.
