Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFH06260 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

Number of positions: 6
Header orientation: Vertical
Termination style: Solder
Mounting type: Through Hole
Pitch tolerance: 0.197" (5.00mm) to 0.200" (5.08mm)
Voltage rating: Minimum 300 V UL
Current rating: Minimum 12 A UL
Material flammability: UL94 V-0
RoHS compliance status

Acceptable Variations:

Shrouding configuration: 2-side or 4-side shrouding
Housing material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) or Polyamide (PA66/PA)
Contact tail length: 0.130" to 0.155"

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELFH06260 (Amphenol PCD) - Primary Selection

Use the original ELFH06260 when procurement availability is confirmed and cost is not a constraint. This part offers the highest current rating (15 A UL) and specified operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C). RoHS compliance is confirmed.

0395211006 (Molex Eurostyle ESE 39521) - Preferred Substitute

This part is suitable as a direct substitute when the ELFH06260 is unavailable. It maintains the same 15 A UL current rating and 300 V UL voltage rating. The 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch differs by 0.003" from the primary part, which is within standard PCB layout tolerances for through-hole applications. The 4-side shrouding provides enhanced mechanical protection compared to 2-side shrouding. Operating temperature range matches the primary part (-40°C to 105°C). ROHS3 compliance is confirmed. Inventory availability is high (10,825 units).

1758050 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBV) - Mechanical Match Substitute

This part provides the closest mechanical compatibility with the ELFH06260, featuring identical 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and 2-side shrouding configuration. However, the current rating is reduced to 12 A UL, which may not be suitable for applications requiring the full 15 A capacity of the primary part. Operating temperature is not specified. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are confirmed. Use this part only when current requirements do not exceed 12 A UL.

1755558 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBVA) - Electrical Compromise Substitute

This part features 4-side shrouding and 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch but has a reduced current rating of 12 A UL. Operating temperature is not specified. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are confirmed. This part is suitable only for applications where 12 A UL current capacity is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use the Molex 0395211006 as a direct replacement for the ELFH06260?

A: Yes. The 0395211006 maintains electrical compatibility with identical current (15 A UL) and voltage (300 V UL) ratings. The pitch difference of 0.003" (0.197" versus 0.200") is within standard PCB through-hole layout tolerances. The 4-side shrouding provides equivalent or improved mechanical performance compared to 2-side shrouding.

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

A: The 0.08mm difference represents approximately 0.3% variation and is within standard manufacturing tolerances for through-hole PCB pad spacing. Both pitches are compatible with standard 0.1" grid PCB designs when accounting for typical pad diameter and clearance specifications.

Q: Why do the Phoenix Contact parts have lower current ratings?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1758050 and 1755558 are rated at 12 A UL compared to the 15 A UL rating of the ELFH06260 and Molex 0395211006. This difference reflects manufacturer-specific design and testing parameters. Use Phoenix Contact parts only in applications where 12 A UL capacity is sufficient.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The ELFH06260 is RoHS Compliant. All three substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant, which represents an updated compliance standard. Both standards are acceptable for RoHS-regulated applications.

Q: What is the difference between 2-side and 4-side shrouding?

A: 2-side shrouding provides insulation on two opposing sides of the connector. 4-side shrouding provides insulation on all four sides, offering enhanced mechanical protection and reduced risk of accidental contact. Both configurations are functionally compatible in standard through-hole applications.

Q: Can I use the Phoenix Contact parts if my application requires the full 15 A capacity?

A: No. The Phoenix Contact 1758050 and 1755558 are rated at 12 A UL maximum. Using these parts in applications requiring 15 A operation would exceed their rated capacity. Use the ELFH06260 or Molex 0395211006 for 15 A applications.

Q: Are operating temperature ranges specified for all parts?

A: The ELFH06260 and Molex 0395211006 specify -40°C to 105°C operating temperature. The Phoenix Contact parts do not provide operating temperature specifications in the available data. Confirm temperature requirements with the manufacturer if using Phoenix Contact parts in temperature-critical applications.
