HCTL
A form-factor similar alternative from HCTL, but with a lower voltage rating.
HCZZ0323-3 is a 3-pin, 1.5mm pitch, right-angle SMT header. While no direct drop-in replacement is confirmed, alternatives exist with a similar form factor but require careful review of their lower voltage rating.
Voltage rating is 50% lower on alternatives.
Mounting type matches, but footprint verification is still needed.
Alternatives are available from major manufacturers like JST and HCTL.
Direct replacement for HCZZ0323-3 should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Use S3B-ZR-SM4A-TF(LF)(SN) or HC-ZH-3PWT if the application voltage is safely below 50V.
Electrical overstress due to the lower 50V rating of the best-fit alternatives compared to the original's 100V.

| Pinout | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 — Pin count matches, but PCB footprint requires datasheet verification.; S3B-ZR-SM4A-TF(LF)(SN): Pin count matches, but PCB footprint requires datasheet verification. |
Verified drop-in options for HCZZ0323-3 are limited in the current batch. Review candidates marked Strong match or Datasheet verified, and validate package, pinout, and electrical limits before committing a BOM change.
