ELFH08190 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH08190 is an 8-position terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for vertical through-hole mounting with 5.00mm pitch spacing. This component features male pins with dual-side shrouding and is rated for 15A at 300V (UL). The part is currently active in production with 1062 units in stock. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply constraints, design standardization across manufacturing facilities, or specific application requirements for different voltage or current ratings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFH08190 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: All substitute parts must maintain 8 positions with matching or equivalent pitch spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm nominal)
• Connector Type & Orientation: Header configuration with male pins, dual-side shrouding, and vertical orientation must be preserved
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination is mandatory for PCB integration compatibility
• Electrical Ratings: Substitute parts must meet or exceed the voltage (300V UL) and current (15A UL) specifications
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating are required for equivalent substitution
• Physical Compatibility: Contact tail length and insulation height must allow proper PCB footprint alignment

The two identified substitute parts (Phoenix Contact 1753550 and 1758076) meet these core substitution criteria with minor variations in pitch tolerance and electrical ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1753550 is the primary equivalent substitute for ELFH08190. Both parts share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count, connector type, and mounting configuration. The Phoenix Contact part carries ROHS3 compliance (enhanced over standard RoHS) and maintains UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The UL current rating is 12A versus 15A on the original part; applications requiring the full 15A capacity must account for this reduction. Physical dimensions (contact tail length and insulation height) are within 0.01" tolerance, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility.

Phoenix Contact 1758076 is a secondary equivalent with a pitch of 5.08mm (0.200"), representing a 0.08mm deviation from the nominal 5.00mm specification. This pitch variation may introduce compatibility issues with existing PCB layouts designed for the ELFH08190. Selection of this part requires verification that the PCB footprint accommodates the slightly wider spacing. Like part 1753550, it carries ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 rating with a 12A UL current limit.

Both substitute parts are active products with confirmed inventory availability and meet all mandatory compliance and environmental requirements for direct substitution in applications where the reduced current rating (12A) is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELFH08190 be directly replaced with Phoenix Contact 1753550 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical 8-position configuration, 5.00mm pitch, vertical orientation, and through-hole solder termination. Physical dimensions (contact tail length 3.94mm vs. 3.90mm, insulation height 12.07mm vs. 12.00mm) are within acceptable tolerance for standard PCB footprints. The primary design consideration is the reduced UL current rating (12A vs. 15A).

Q: What is the pitch difference between ELFH08190 and Phoenix Contact 1758076?

A: ELFH08190 specifies 5.00mm pitch while 1758076 specifies 5.08mm pitch, a difference of 0.08mm. This variation may cause alignment issues with PCBs designed for the tighter 5.00mm spacing. PCB layout verification is required before substitution.

Q: Are the Phoenix Contact substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both Phoenix Contact parts (1753550 and 1758076) carry ROHS3 compliance, which exceeds the standard RoHS requirement of the original ELFH08190. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: What is the current rating difference between ELFH08190 and its substitutes?

A: ELFH08190 is rated for 15A (UL), while both Phoenix Contact substitutes are rated for 12A (UL). Applications operating at currents between 12A and 15A must use the original ELFH08190 or confirm that the substitute's 12A rating is sufficient for the circuit design.

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1758076 be used if PCB layout cannot accommodate the 5.08mm pitch?

A: No. The 0.08mm pitch difference will cause misalignment with PCB pads designed for 5.00mm spacing. Use Phoenix Contact 1753550 instead, which maintains the original 5.00mm pitch.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: ELFH08190 specifies -40°C to 105°C operating temperature. Phoenix Contact parts do not provide operating temperature specifications in the available data. Thermal performance should be verified with the manufacturer before substitution in temperature-critical applications.
