Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 796638-7 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) qualifies as an equivalent based on the following shared specifications:

• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm) — standardized spacing for connector compatibility
• Header Orientation: 90° right-angle configuration — mechanical alignment with PCB mounting requirements
• Category: Terminal Blocks — functional classification
• Packaging: Bulk — supply format consistency
• Product Status: Active — current manufacturing availability
• RoHS Compliance: Both parts meet RoHS regulatory requirements
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) — identical moisture sensitivity classification
• ECCN Classification: EAR99 — export control equivalence
• HTSUS Code: 8536.69.4040 — tariff classification alignment

These parameters establish the substitution basis for component selection in applications where either part can fulfill the electrical and mechanical interface requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELFH0721G and 796638-7 maintain active product status with current manufacturing support. The ELFH0721G carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the 796638-7 meets ROHS3 Compliant standards, indicating both parts satisfy current regulatory requirements for restricted substance compliance.

Selection between these parts should be based on design-specific requirements including position count, termination method, and operating temperature range. The 796638-7 provides documented specifications for 7-position configuration, through-hole mounting, solder termination, and -40°C to 110°C operating range. Both parts share identical MSL ratings and export control classifications, supporting interchangeability in supply chain applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines substitution compatibility between ELFH0721G and 796638-7?

A: Substitution is based on shared pitch (0.200"/5.08mm), header orientation (90° right-angle), terminal block category classification, bulk packaging format, active product status, and identical regulatory compliance levels (RoHS, MSL 1, EAR99 ECCN).

Q: Can 796638-7 be used as a direct replacement for ELFH0721G?

A: Substitution feasibility depends on design specifications not provided in the ELFH0721G datasheet. The 796638-7 is a 7-position through-hole solder terminal block with documented electrical and thermal ratings. Verify that your application requirements align with the 796638-7 specifications before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch specification?

A: Pitch defines the center-to-center spacing between connector positions. The 0.200" pitch is a standardized spacing that ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility between terminal blocks designed to this specification.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. ELFH0721G is RoHS Compliant, and 796638-7 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements for restricted substance use in electronic components.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these components?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level, meaning these components have unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions and do not require special moisture control measures during handling or storage.
