Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count: All substitute parts maintain 6 positions
• Pitch Tolerance: ELFH06230 operates at 0.200" (5.08mm). Substitute 0395220006 and 0395226006 operate at 0.197" (5.00mm), representing a 0.003" (0.08mm) deviation. Substitute 0395325006 maintains the exact 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch
• Orientation: All parts are 90° right-angle configurations
• Mounting: All parts use through-hole solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: All parts support 15 A (UL) and 300 V (UL)
• Temperature Range: All parts operate across -40°C to 105°C
• Flammability: All parts meet UL94 V-0 standard
• Contact Material: All parts use brass contacts with tin mating finish
• Shrouding Configuration: ELFH06230 features 4-side shrouding. Substitute 0395325006 provides 2-side shrouding; substitute 0395226006 provides 4-side shrouding; substitute 0395220006 provides 2-side shrouding

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 0395325006 (Molex)

The 0395325006 is the closest functional equivalent to ELFH06230. Both parts maintain identical 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility in PCB layouts. The 0395325006 features 2-side shrouding compared to the 4-side shrouding of ELFH06230; this difference affects EMI shielding characteristics but does not impact electrical performance within the specified 15 A / 300 V operating envelope. Both parts are actively produced and RoHS compliant. The 0395325006 is available in higher inventory (1,669 units) and uses PA66 housing material, which offers enhanced thermal stability compared to the PA46 material in ELFH06230.

Secondary Substitute: 0395226006 (Molex)

The 0395226006 maintains 4-side shrouding identical to ELFH06230 and is actively produced with substantial inventory (5,037 units). However, this part operates at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, representing a 0.003" (0.08mm) deviation from the ELFH06230 specification. This pitch tolerance may require PCB layout verification to confirm connector alignment and mating compatibility. The 0395226006 is suitable for applications where shrouding configuration is critical and pitch tolerance is acceptable within design margins.

Tertiary Substitute: 0395220006 (Molex)

The 0395220006 operates at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch with 2-side shrouding. This part introduces both pitch deviation and reduced shrouding coverage relative to ELFH06230. Selection of this part requires confirmation that both pitch tolerance and shrouding reduction are acceptable for the target application. The 0395220006 offers the highest inventory availability (3,763 units) among substitute options.

All substitute parts maintain active product status, UL94 V-0 flammability compliance, and identical electrical ratings. Housing material differences (PA46 versus PA66) do not affect electrical performance but may influence thermal cycling behavior in extreme temperature applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0395325006 be used as a direct replacement for ELFH06230?

A: The 0395325006 is functionally compatible with ELFH06230 for applications requiring 6-position, 15 A / 300 V terminal block headers. Both parts maintain 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing and identical electrical ratings. The primary difference is shrouding configuration: 0395325006 provides 2-side shrouding versus 4-side shrouding on ELFH06230. This affects EMI containment but not electrical performance. PCB layout compatibility is confirmed due to identical pitch specification.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.003" (0.08mm) pitch deviation in 0395220006 and 0395226006?

A: The pitch deviation represents the spacing between adjacent contact positions. A 0.003" (0.08mm) difference may affect connector mating alignment and PCB footprint compatibility. Applications with tight mechanical tolerances or high-density layouts should verify that this deviation is acceptable within design margins before substitution. Standard industrial applications typically accommodate this tolerance range.

Q: How do shrouding differences affect component selection?

A: Shrouding configuration (2-side versus 4-side) impacts electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and mechanical protection. 4-side shrouding (ELFH06230 and 0395226006) provides enhanced EMI containment and physical protection. 2-side shrouding (0395325006 and 0395220006) reduces shrouding coverage but maintains electrical performance. Selection depends on application EMI requirements and mechanical protection needs.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: ELFH06230 is RoHS Compliant. Substitute parts 0395325006 and 0395220006 are ROHS3 Compliant. Substitute part 0395226006 does not specify RoHS status in available documentation. For applications requiring documented RoHS compliance, 0395325006 and 0395220006 are confirmed compliant alternatives.

Q: What is the difference between PA46 and PA66 housing materials?

A: ELFH06230 uses Polyamide (PA46) Nylon 4/6 housing, while all Molex substitutes use Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6 housing. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards and operate across -40°C to 105°C. PA66 offers slightly higher thermal stability and mechanical strength. This material difference does not affect electrical performance or standard industrial applications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Interchangeability depends on specific design constraints. The 0395325006 is the most compatible substitute due to identical pitch specification. Parts 0395220006 and 0395226006 require design verification due to pitch deviation. All parts maintain identical electrical ratings (15 A / 300 V) and operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), supporting functional interchangeability in applications where mechanical tolerance and shrouding configuration are not critical constraints.
