ELFH07180 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH07180 is a 7-position terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for vertical through-hole mounting with 5.00mm pitch spacing. This component is classified as an active product and serves as a connector interface for wire termination in industrial and electronic applications. The need for equivalent and substitute parts arises from inventory availability, lead time considerations, and application-specific requirements across different manufacturing sources.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFH07180 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: Both main and substitute parts must maintain 7 positions with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts.
• Header Type & Orientation: Vertical orientation with male pins and shrouded design are required for form-factor compatibility.
• Termination & Mounting: Solder termination and through-hole mounting must be preserved.
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage rating of 300 V (UL) is a minimum requirement. Current ratings may vary within acceptable operational limits for the application.
• Compliance & Temperature: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C establish baseline safety and environmental performance.
• RoHS Compliance: Active products must maintain RoHS compliance status.

The substitute part 1753534 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBV series) meets these core substitution criteria with compatible electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELFH07180 (Amphenol PCD) is the primary specification. This part is active, RoHS compliant, and rated for 15 A at 300 V (UL), with 4-side shrouding providing enhanced mechanical protection and EMI shielding characteristics.

1753534 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBV) is a qualified substitute for applications where the following conditions are met:

• Current requirement does not exceed 12 A (UL rating of substitute part)
• 2-side shrouding is acceptable for the mechanical and environmental requirements of the application
• Green housing color is compatible with system design or identification requirements
• ROHS3 compliance status meets or exceeds project specifications

Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, 300 V UL voltage rating, identical pitch and position configuration, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity. Both are classified as active products with EAR99 export control status and identical HTSUS commodity codes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1753534 be used as a direct replacement for ELFH07180?

A: 1753534 is a functional substitute when current requirements do not exceed 12 A. The primary differences are shrouding configuration (2-side vs. 4-side) and housing color (green vs. black). Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained for the specified pitch, position count, and termination method.

Q: What is the significance of the shrouding difference (4-side vs. 2-side)?

A: 4-side shrouding on the ELFH07180 provides complete enclosure of the pin array, offering enhanced mechanical protection and improved EMI shielding. 2-side shrouding on the 1753534 provides partial enclosure. Selection depends on application requirements for mechanical robustness and electromagnetic compatibility.

Q: Are there voltage or current limitations when substituting?

A: The substitute part 1753534 has a UL current rating of 12 A compared to the ELFH07180's 15 A rating. Applications requiring current above 12 A must use the primary part. Both parts are rated for 300 V (UL), meeting the same voltage specification.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The ELFH07180 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1753534 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current RoHS standards for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: ELFH07180 is supplied in Tray packaging (716 pcs available), while 1753534 is supplied in Bulk packaging (2750 pcs available). Packaging format may affect procurement, handling, and inventory management but does not affect component functionality.

Q: Are the contact materials compatible?

A: Both parts feature tin contact mating finish. The ELFH07180 specifies brass contact material; the 1753534 contact material is not specified in the provided data. Tin plating ensures compatible solder joint formation and electrical performance for both parts.
