• Header Orientation: Both are right-angle (90°) configurations suitable for through-hole PCB mounting
• Category Classification: Both are terminal block headers with male pins
• Compliance Status: Both are RoHS compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating
• Regulatory Alignment: Both share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications
• Product Status: Both are active products with current manufacturing support

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELFH0821G and 796638-8 maintain active product status with current manufacturing support from their respective suppliers. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Compliance Alignment: Both parts satisfy RoHS requirements. The 796638-8 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing the most current regulatory standard. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Regulatory Classification: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, ensuring equivalent export control and tariff treatment.

Supply Continuity: The 796638-8 currently maintains higher inventory availability (1253 units) compared to ELFH0821G (735 units), which may influence procurement decisions in supply-constrained scenarios.

Documented Specifications: The 796638-8 provides complete electrical and mechanical specifications including current rating (15 A UL), voltage rating (300 V UL), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 110°C), and physical dimensions. These specifications align with standard terminal block performance requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if 796638-8 can substitute for ELFH0821G?

A: Substitution is valid when both parts share the same pitch specification (0.200"/5.08mm), header orientation (right-angle), and mounting method (through-hole). Both parts meet these criteria and carry equivalent compliance certifications.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. No special handling or packaging modifications are required for interchangeability.

Q: Do these parts have different moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, indicating they have no moisture sensitivity constraints and do not require special storage conditions or baking procedures prior to assembly.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS and ROHS3 compliance difference?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory iteration. Both satisfy hazardous substance restrictions and are suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: Can I use 796638-8 in existing designs specified for ELFH0821G?

A: Yes, provided the design accommodates the documented specifications of 796638-8, including the 8-position configuration, 15 A current rating, 300 V voltage rating, and physical dimensions (contact tail length 0.138", insulation height 0.329").

Q: Are there any export control considerations for these parts?

A: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) classification, indicating equivalent export control treatment. No additional licensing or documentation is required for standard commercial distribution.
