ELFH04260 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH04260 is a 4-position vertical terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD. This component features male pins with 2-side shrouding, a 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, and solder termination for through-hole mounting. The part is actively produced and RoHS compliant, designed for applications requiring reliable electrical connections in industrial and commercial equipment. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design flexibility permits component interchange.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELFH04260 are grouped based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Number of positions: 4
• Header type: Male pins with 2-side shrouding
• Mounting type: Through hole, solder termination
• Pitch tolerance: 0.197" (5.00mm) to 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Voltage rating: Minimum 300 V UL
• Material flammability: UL94 V-0
• RoHS compliance status

Substitute Parts Identified:

1755260 and 1758034 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBV series) provide direct pitch-matched alternatives with identical electrical ratings and flammability compliance.

1753479 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBV series) operates at a slightly reduced pitch (0.197" vs 0.200") with equivalent electrical performance.

1955400 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON CCV series) matches the 0.200" pitch but features a different housing material (LCP) and reduced UL current rating (10 A vs 15 A).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1755260 and 1758034 are the preferred substitutes for the ELFH04260. Both parts maintain the 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch specification, identical voltage rating (300 V UL), and UL94 V-0 flammability compliance. The primary trade-off is reduced current capacity (12 A vs 15 A). These parts are suitable for applications where the 12 A UL current rating is sufficient. Both are actively produced and RoHS compliant.

1753479 operates at a 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, introducing a 0.003" (0.08mm) spacing variance. This part is suitable only for designs where pitch tolerance permits the reduced spacing. Current and voltage ratings match 1755260 and 1758034 (12 A, 300 V UL). ROHS3 compliance status is equivalent to RoHS compliance.

1955400 maintains the 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch but features a shorter contact tail length (0.102" vs 0.155") and reduced UL current rating (10 A). The LCP housing material differs from the PBT housing of the main part. This substitute is applicable only when the reduced current capacity and modified contact geometry are compatible with the application requirements.

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, ensuring compliance with standard industrial safety requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1755260 or 1758034 be used as direct replacements for ELFH04260?

A: Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible with the ELFH04260 for applications requiring 12 A or less at 300 V UL. The primary difference is reduced current capacity (12 A vs 15 A). Pitch specifications are identical (0.200" / 5.08mm). Verify that your application current requirements do not exceed 12 A before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch difference in 1753479?

A: The 1753479 operates at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch versus the ELFH04260 standard of 0.200" (5.08mm). This 0.003" (0.08mm) reduction in spacing may affect PCB layout compatibility and mating connector alignment. Substitution is only appropriate if the receiving connector or mating component accommodates the reduced pitch tolerance.

Q: Why does 1955400 have a shorter contact tail length?

A: The 1955400 contact tail length is 0.102" (2.60mm) compared to 0.155" (3.94mm) for the ELFH04260. This reduced tail length affects solder joint geometry and PCB hole depth requirements. Verify that your PCB design accommodates the shorter tail before substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The ELFH04260 is RoHS Compliant. Substitutes 1755260 and 1955400 are RoHS Compliant. Substitutes 1758034 and 1753479 are ROHS3 Compliant. Both compliance designations meet current RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the impact of different housing materials on performance?

A: The ELFH04260 uses PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) housing. Substitutes 1755260 and 1753479 also use PBT. Substitute 1758034 uses PA (Polyamide/Nylon), and 1955400 uses LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer). All materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Housing material differences may affect thermal performance and mechanical durability in specific environmental conditions.

Q: Can I use 1955400 if my application requires 15 A capacity?

A: No. The 1955400 is rated for 10 A UL maximum, which is below the ELFH04260 specification of 15 A. Using this part in a 15 A application would exceed its electrical rating and create a safety hazard.

Q: Are all parts available in the same packaging format?

A: The ELFH04260 is supplied in Tray packaging. All substitute parts (1755260, 1758034, 1753479, 1955400) are supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify that bulk packaging is compatible with your procurement and assembly processes.
