ELFH05240 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The Amphenol PCD ELFH05240 is an active 5-position right-angle terminal block header designed for through-hole mounting in PCB applications. It features shrouded male pins, a 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, 15A/300V UL ratings, and is RoHS compliant. Sourcing alternative terminal block headers with equivalent electrical, mechanical, and compliance characteristics is critical for maintaining supply chain continuity, especially when managing inventory or addressing lead times.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Amphenol PCD ELFH05240 are selected based on direct matching of category (Terminal Blocks), terminal block header type, number of positions, pitch, orientation, termination style, mounting type, UL electrical ratings, material flammability rating, contact finish, and regulatory compliance criteria. The following key parameters define group compatibility:

• Terminal Block Type
• Number of Positions
• Positions Per Level
• Number of Levels
• Pitch
• Orientation
• Termination Style
• Mounting Type
• UL Current/Voltage Ratings
• Flammability Rating
• Contact Material and Finish
• Housing Material
• Color
• Operating Temperature Range
• RoHS and MSL Status

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELFH05240 and 0395320005 are classified as active status terminal block headers, RoHS-compliant, and rated MSL 1 (unlimited). These factors allow substitution when regulatory compliance, inventory status, and continuous product availability are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What parameters must be matched when substituting terminal block headers?
A: Number of positions, pitch, orientation, termination style, mounting type, UL ratings, flammability rating, contact finish, contact and housing materials, operating temperature range, RoHS status, and MSL grade.

Q2: Is the Molex 0395320005 a direct replacement for the Amphenol PCD ELFH05240?
A: The Molex 0395320005 matches all key parameters provided for category, electrical/mechanical ratings, compliance data, and dimensional ranges as specified.

Q3: Does packaging style affect the ability to substitute terminal blocks?
A: Only category, electrical, mechanical, and listed environmental parameters are required for substitution. Packaging style (tray vs. bulk) does not affect component interchangeability or functionality based on the provided parameters.

Q4: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?
A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and have an MSL rating of 1.

Q5: Can differences in insulation height or tail length impact substitution?
A: Insulation height and contact tail length are included for verification. Comparative values are within engineering tolerance for the product category as presented by the given parameters.
