ELFH08220 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH08220 is an 8-position terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for through-hole solder mounting applications. This component features male pins with 2-side shrouding, 90° right-angle orientation, and 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing. The part is currently active in production with 1125 units in stock. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply chain considerations, design flexibility, or specific application requirements where substitute components meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELFH08220 has one identified equivalent substitute: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 282815-8. This substitution is valid based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

• Number of Positions: Both parts provide 8 positions
• Pitch Spacing: Both maintain 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch
• Header Orientation: Both feature 90° right-angle configuration
• Pin Type: Both are male pins with 2-side shrouding
• Mounting Method: Both use through-hole solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: Both support 15 A (UL) and 300 V (UL)
• Compliance: Both are RoHS Compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)

These parameters establish the substitution basis. Differences in housing material, contact material, color, and minor dimensional variations do not affect functional equivalence for standard terminal block applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELFH08220 and 282815-8 are active production components with full RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

ELFH08220 (Amphenol PCD): Select this part when PBT housing material is specified, when brass contact material is required, or when the black color finish is a design requirement. Higher inventory availability (1125 units) supports immediate procurement needs.

282815-8 (TE Connectivity): Select this part when PA66/Nylon 6/6 housing material is acceptable, when copper alloy contacts are suitable, or when the green color finish is preferred. The extended operating temperature range to 110°C provides additional thermal margin in high-temperature applications. Side stacking feature enables compact board layouts.

Both parts meet identical electrical specifications (15 A, 300 V) and mechanical requirements (8 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 90° orientation, through-hole solder mounting). The choice between them is determined by material preferences, thermal requirements, and design aesthetics rather than functional capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 282815-8 be used as a direct replacement for ELFH08220 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (15 A, 300 V), mechanical configuration (8 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 90° right-angle), and mounting method (through-hole solder). The parts are functionally equivalent for standard terminal block applications. Minor differences in housing material, contact material, and dimensions do not affect electrical performance or PCB compatibility.

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

A: The primary differences are housing material (PBT vs. PA66/Nylon 6/6), contact material (Brass vs. Copper Alloy), color (Black vs. Green), and operating temperature upper limit (105°C vs. 110°C). Contact tail length and insulation height vary slightly. These differences do not affect functional interchangeability for standard applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both ELFH08220 and 282815-8 are RoHS Compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: The 282815-8 supports operation to 110°C, compared to 105°C for the ELFH08220. For applications approaching or exceeding 105°C, the 282815-8 provides additional thermal margin.

Q: Do packaging differences affect component selection?

A: The ELFH08220 is supplied in Tray packaging, while 282815-8 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Selection should be based on procurement and assembly process requirements.

Q: Are the contact tail lengths compatible with standard PCB hole spacing?

A: Both parts are designed for 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch through-hole mounting. Contact tail length differences (0.155" vs. 0.138") are within standard PCB design tolerances and do not affect mounting compatibility.
