Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 796636-5 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) qualifies as an equivalent based on the following shared electrical and mechanical parameters:

Pitch specification of 0.200" (5.08mm) ensures mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts designed for the ELFH0525G. Both components are classified as terminal blocks within the same product category and share identical packaging designation (Bulk). The vertical header orientation and through-hole mounting type provide functional equivalence for standard board-level interconnection applications. Both parts maintain active product status and comply with RoHS regulations, ensuring long-term availability and environmental compliance. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) is consistent across both components, indicating identical moisture handling requirements during storage and assembly.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELFH0525G and 796636-5 are active-status components with full RoHS compliance and identical regulatory classifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements. The TE Connectivity 796636-5 provides additional documented specifications including operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 110°C), contact material composition (Copper Alloy), and housing material (Polyamide PA66/Nylon 6/6), which may be beneficial for applications requiring detailed material traceability or thermal performance verification. The Amphenol ELFH0525G maintains equivalent compliance status and is suitable for applications where the documented specifications of the TE Connectivity alternative are not explicitly required by design specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines compatibility between ELFH0525G and 796636-5?

A: Compatibility is established through matching pitch specification (0.200"/5.08mm), identical header orientation (vertical), shared mounting method (through-hole), and equivalent electrical category classification (terminal blocks). Both components are designed for the same PCB footprint and mating connector interfaces.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both ELFH0525G and 796636-5 are supplied in bulk packaging. No packaging format differences exist between these alternatives.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS compliant, carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, and share MSL rating 1 (Unlimited). The TE Connectivity part carries ROHS3 designation, which represents a more recent compliance verification but does not indicate a functional difference.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch specification?

A: Pitch defines the center-to-center spacing between terminal positions. The 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch is a standardized spacing that ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors, PCB layouts, and wire gauges designed for this specification. Both parts share this critical parameter.

Q: Can ELFH0525G be replaced with 796636-5 in existing designs?

A: Substitution is mechanically and electrically valid based on shared pitch, orientation, mounting type, and category classification. Design verification should confirm that any undocumented specifications of ELFH0525G do not conflict with the documented specifications of 796636-5, particularly regarding contact material, housing material, and operating temperature range.
