ELFH02160 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH02160 is a 2-position terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD. It features male pins with 2-side shrouding, a 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, and vertical through-hole mounting. The component operates across -40°C to 105°C and is rated for 15 A at 300 V (UL). This part is currently active in production with 869 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and mounting configurations are available from alternative manufacturers, enabling procurement flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFH02160 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed UL specifications (15 A at 300 V minimum)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 2-position configuration, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, vertical orientation, and through-hole mounting must be identical
• Connector Type: Male pins with 2-side shrouding required
• Termination: Solder termination style
• Regulatory Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance required

The substitute part 1753437 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBV series) meets these criteria with equivalent mechanical dimensions, matching pitch and position count, identical mounting configuration, and compliant certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELFH02160 and 1753437 are active production components with equivalent mechanical and electrical characteristics suitable for 2-position, 5mm-pitch terminal block applications. The ELFH02160 provides a 15 A UL current rating, while the 1753437 is rated for 12 A at UL. Both components meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain unlimited moisture sensitivity levels. The Phoenix Contact 1753437 holds ROHS3 compliance status and is available in higher inventory (2021 units). Selection between these parts should be based on current rating requirements for the specific application and preferred supplier availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1753437 substitute for the ELFH02160 in all applications?

A: The 1753437 is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications requiring up to 12 A at 300 V. Applications requiring the full 15 A rating of the ELFH02160 must use the original part or verify that the substitute's 12 A rating is sufficient for the circuit design.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: The parts are dimensionally equivalent within manufacturing tolerance. Contact tail length differs by 0.001" (0.04mm) and insulation height by 0.003" (0.07mm). These variations are within standard PCB design tolerances for through-hole terminal block applications.

Q: What is the difference in housing material between these parts?

A: The ELFH02160 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), while the 1753437 uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for the specified operating temperature range.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The ELFH02160 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1753437 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current RoHS requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The ELFH02160 is supplied in Tray packaging, while the 1753437 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed with procurement requirements before ordering.
