ELFH06290 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH06290 is a 6-position vertical terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD. This component features male pins with 2-side shrouding, a 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, and solder termination for through-hole mounting. The part is actively produced and widely used in industrial control, automation, and power distribution applications where reliable electrical connections are required.

Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, lead time constraints, or specific application requirements while maintaining functional compatibility within the defined electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must equal 6
• Header Orientation: Must be Vertical
• Termination Style: Must be Solder
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Pitch Tolerance: 0.197" (5.00mm) to 0.200" (5.08mm) are functionally compatible
• Shrouding Configuration: 2-side or 4-side shrouding are both acceptable for mechanical compatibility
• Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed application requirements
• Compliance: RoHS and material flammability ratings must be maintained

The three substitute parts listed below meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the ELFH06290 in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Preferred for 1:1 Replacement):

1758050 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBV) is the closest functional equivalent to ELFH06290. Both parts share identical pitch (0.200" / 5.08mm), 2-side shrouding configuration, and through-hole solder termination. This part is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant.

Compatible Alternatives (Pitch Variation):

0395211006 (Molex Eurostyle ESE 39521) and 1755558 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBVA) feature a slightly reduced pitch of 0.197" (5.00mm) compared to the original 0.200" (5.08mm). Both maintain 6-position vertical configuration, solder termination, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 4-side shrouding on these parts provides enhanced mechanical protection. These parts are suitable for applications where the minor pitch variation does not conflict with PCB layout constraints.

Current Rating Consideration:

Parts 1755558 and 1758050 are rated at 12 A (UL), compared to the ELFH06290 at 15 A (UL). Selection of these alternatives is appropriate for applications operating at or below 12 A. For applications requiring the full 15 A capacity, the ELFH06290 or 0395211006 are recommended.

Compliance Status:

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 for substitutes). All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1758050 directly replace ELFH06290 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share the same 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and 2-side shrouding configuration. PCB footprints designed for ELFH06290 will accommodate 1758050 without modification. Contact tail length and insulation height are within acceptable tolerance ranges for standard through-hole assembly.

Q: What is the impact of using 0395211006 or 1755558 with their 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch?

A: The 0.03mm pitch reduction per position results in approximately 0.18mm total spacing difference across the 6-position header. This variation is within standard PCB manufacturing tolerances for through-hole components. However, PCB layouts designed with tight spacing constraints should be verified before substitution.

Q: Are the 4-side shrouded alternatives (0395211006, 1755558) mechanically compatible with 2-side shrouded designs?

A: Yes. The 4-side shrouding provides additional mechanical protection and does not prevent mating with standard connectors. The increased shrouding is a design enhancement and does not compromise compatibility with existing connector interfaces.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference between ELFH06290 (15 A) and Phoenix Contact alternatives (12 A)?

A: The 3 A difference reflects different manufacturer testing and certification standards. For applications operating below 12 A, all parts are functionally equivalent. Applications requiring sustained currents above 12 A should use ELFH06290 or 0395211006 to maintain the 15 A UL rating.

Q: Are all substitute parts actively produced?

A: Yes. ELFH06290, 0395211006, 1755558, and 1758050 are all listed as Active product status with current inventory availability.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: All parts are UL94 V-0 rated and RoHS compliant (ROHS3 for substitutes). All carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification. Operating temperature specifications are provided for ELFH06290 and 0395211006 (-40°C ~ 105°C). Phoenix Contact parts do not specify operating temperature in the provided data.
