ELFH07210E Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH07210E is a 7-position terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for through-hole solder mounting applications. This shrouded male pin header operates at 300 V UL with a 15 A current rating and features a 90° right-angle orientation with 5.08mm pitch spacing. The component is actively produced and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for industrial control, automation, and power distribution circuits requiring reliable electrical connections.

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

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFH07210E is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Voltage rating (minimum 300 V UL), current rating (minimum 15 A UL), and contact material must support the same electrical load envelope
• Mechanical Compatibility: 7 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 90° right-angle orientation, male pin configuration, and shrouded (4-side) design must be identical
• Termination & Mounting: Solder termination and through-hole mounting type must match
• Environmental & Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance status must be maintained

The substitute part 1780460000 (Weidmüller Omnimate SL series) meets all critical substitution criteria while offering enhanced electrical performance and additional features within the same form factor and mounting interface.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELFH07210E and 1780460000 are active production components with full RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, qualifying them for equivalent use in applications requiring 7-position, 5.08mm pitch terminal block headers with 90° right-angle through-hole solder mounting.

The ELFH07210E (Amphenol PCD) is the primary specification component with established supply chain presence (1010 pcs in stock) and meets all stated electrical and mechanical requirements.

The 1780460000 (Weidmüller Omnimate SL) provides a direct functional substitute with enhanced electrical performance margins (18.5 A UL vs. 15 A UL; 27.5 A IEC vs. unspecified IEC) and superior housing material (glass-filled LCP vs. standard PBT). This substitute is suitable for applications where higher current capacity or extended temperature range flexibility (-50°C lower bound vs. -40°C) provides operational advantage. Current inventory availability is 1096 pcs.

Selection between these components should be based on supply chain availability, delivery timeline requirements, and application-specific electrical margin requirements within the 300 V UL / 15 A UL minimum envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1780460000 be used as a direct replacement for the ELFH07210E in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical form factors (7 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 90° right-angle orientation), identical termination method (solder through-hole), and equivalent electrical ratings at the UL specification level (300 V, 15 A minimum). PCB footprints and mating interface dimensions are compatible.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are contact material (brass vs. copper alloy), housing material (PBT vs. glass-filled LCP), and electrical performance margins. The Weidmüller part offers higher current capacity (18.5 A UL vs. 15 A UL) and IEC ratings (27.5 A / 400 V), plus a lower operating temperature minimum (-50°C vs. -40°C). Housing material differences reflect manufacturing process variations but do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both components are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The Weidmüller part includes REACH Unaffected status documentation. Both share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What determines whether a part qualifies as a substitute?

A: Substitution eligibility requires matching electrical specifications (voltage and current ratings), identical mechanical configuration (position count, pitch, orientation, shrouding), compatible termination method (solder), and equivalent mounting type (through-hole). Compliance certifications (RoHS, UL94 V-0) must be maintained. Parts meeting these criteria are functionally interchangeable at the circuit level.

Q: Can I mix these components in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible and can be used together in multi-connector applications without functional impact, provided each connector operates within its specified electrical envelope.
