Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFH06280 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Number of Positions: Must be 6
Pitch Specification: 0.200" (5.08mm) or 0.197" (5.00mm) are mechanically compatible within standard PCB design tolerances
Header Orientation: Must be vertical
Mounting Type: Must be through-hole solder
Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed UL 15 A / 300 V specifications
Shrouding Configuration: 4-side or 2-side shrouding are functionally equivalent for connector retention
Compliance: RoHS and material flammability ratings (UL94 V-0) must be maintained

The identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are suitable for direct replacement in applications where the ELFH06280 is specified.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELFH06280 (Amphenol PCD) remains the primary specification. This part is in active production with established supply (793 units in stock) and carries full RoHS compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

0395211006 (Molex) is a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical ratings (15 A / 300 V) and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C). The 0.003" (0.08mm) pitch variance (5.00mm vs. 5.08mm) is within standard PCB design tolerances. ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 rating are maintained. This substitute offers higher inventory availability (10,825 units).

1755558 (Phoenix Contact) meets core substitution criteria with matching 6-position vertical configuration and UL94 V-0 compliance. The current rating is reduced to 12 A (UL specification), which is acceptable for applications not requiring the full 15 A capacity. Operating temperature is not specified in available data. The 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch is compatible with standard PCB tolerances.

1758050 (Phoenix Contact) matches the ELFH06280 pitch specification (0.200" / 5.08mm) exactly and maintains UL94 V-0 compliance. The shrouding configuration differs (2-side vs. 4-side), which does not affect electrical performance. Current rating is 12 A (UL), suitable for applications within this capacity. Operating temperature is not specified.

Selection between substitutes should be based on application current requirements, PCB layout constraints, and supply chain considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0395211006 be used in place of the ELFH06280 despite the pitch difference?

A: Yes. The pitch variance of 0.003" (0.08mm) between 5.08mm and 5.00mm is within standard PCB design tolerances for through-hole terminal block applications. Both parts maintain 6-position vertical configuration and identical electrical ratings (15 A / 300 V).

Q: What is the significance of the shrouding configuration difference between the ELFH06280 (4-side) and the 1758050 (2-side)?

A: Shrouding configuration affects mechanical retention and connector guidance during mating. Both 4-side and 2-side shrouded headers provide adequate retention for solder-mounted through-hole applications. The 2-side configuration may offer reduced insertion force in some connector designs but does not affect electrical performance or current-carrying capacity.

Q: Are the Phoenix Contact parts (1755558 and 1758050) suitable for applications requiring 15 A current capacity?

A: Both Phoenix Contact parts are rated for 12 A (UL specification). They are suitable for applications requiring up to 12 A. Applications requiring the full 15 A capacity should use the ELFH06280 or the Molex 0395211006.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The ELFH06280 is RoHS Compliant. All identified substitutes (0395211006, 1755558, 1758050) carry ROHS3 Compliant status, which represents an updated compliance framework and is functionally equivalent for RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the impact of the contact tail length variations shown in the parameter comparison?

A: Contact tail length variations (ranging from 0.130" to 0.155") are within acceptable tolerances for through-hole solder mounting. PCB hole depth and solder fillet requirements should be verified during design validation, but these minor variations do not prevent substitution in standard applications.
