ELFH02260 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH02260 is a 2-position terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for vertical through-hole mounting with 5.08mm pitch spacing. This component is actively produced and stocked with 958 units available. Terminal block headers are essential interconnection components in industrial control systems, power distribution modules, and signal routing applications where reliable solder-terminated connections are required. Substitute parts may be necessary due to supply constraints, regional availability, or specific application requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFH02260 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Must be a 2-position terminal block header with male pins and 2-side shrouding
• Pitch Tolerance: Pitch must be within 0.197" to 0.200" (5.00mm to 5.08mm) to ensure mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts
• Mounting Method: Must support vertical through-hole mounting with solder termination
• Electrical Performance: Minimum current rating of 12 A (IEC) or 12 A (UL) and voltage rating of 300 V (UL) or 400 V (IEC)
• Environmental Compliance: Must maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance status
• Operating Temperature: Must support the -40°C to 105°C range or equivalent

The substitute part 1753437 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBV series) meets these criteria with a 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, equivalent electrical ratings, and matching flammability and RoHS certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ELFH02260 and 1753437 are functionally equivalent for applications requiring 2-position vertical terminal block headers with solder termination. Both components are active products with current manufacturing status and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Electrical Compatibility: The ELFH02260 supports 15 A at 300 V (UL), while the 1753437 supports 12 A at 300 V (UL) and 12 A at 400 V (IEC). Applications requiring the full 15 A UL rating must use the ELFH02260. Applications operating at or below 12 A are compatible with either part.

Mechanical Compatibility: The pitch difference of 0.008" (0.08mm) between 5.08mm and 5.00mm is within typical PCB layout tolerances for through-hole terminal block applications. Both parts feature equivalent contact tail lengths (3.94mm vs. 3.90mm) and insulation heights (12.07mm vs. 12.00mm), ensuring compatible solder joint formation and board-level integration.

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance (ELFH02260 is RoHS Compliant; 1753437 is ROHS3 Compliant) and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, supporting equivalent regulatory and supply chain requirements.

Packaging Consideration: ELFH02260 is supplied in Tray packaging with 958 units in stock. The 1753437 is supplied in Bulk packaging with 2021 units available. Selection should account for inventory requirements and packaging handling procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1753437 directly replace the ELFH02260 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible for applications operating at 12 A or below. The 0.008" pitch difference is within standard PCB tolerance ranges for through-hole terminal blocks. However, designs specified for the full 15 A UL rating of the ELFH02260 require verification that the 12 A rating of the 1753437 meets application requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch difference between 5.08mm and 5.00mm?

A: The 0.08mm difference represents approximately 0.3% variance and is typical in terminal block manufacturing. Both pitches are industry-standard for 2-position headers. PCB layouts designed for 5.08mm spacing will accommodate 5.00mm components within normal manufacturing tolerances. Verification with PCB design files is recommended for high-density layouts.

Q: Are the shrouding configurations identical?

A: Both parts feature 2-side shrouding on male pin headers, providing equivalent mechanical protection and polarization. The insulation height difference of 0.07mm (12.07mm vs. 12.00mm) is negligible for standard applications.

Q: What are the packaging differences, and how do they affect procurement?

A: The ELFH02260 is supplied in Tray packaging, while the 1753437 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Tray packaging typically provides better component protection during handling and storage. Bulk packaging may require additional protective measures. Selection depends on receiving, storage, and assembly procedures at your facility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, RoHS compliance status, and identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. The ELFH02260 is RoHS Compliant, while the 1753437 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both support equivalent regulatory and export requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the 1753437?

A: The operating temperature range for the 1753437 is not specified in the provided data. The ELFH02260 operates from -40°C to 105°C. For applications requiring confirmed temperature specifications, contact the manufacturer directly.
