ELFH08260 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH08260 is an 8-position terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for vertical through-hole mounting with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing. This shrouded male pin header operates at 300V UL and 15A UL current rating, suitable for industrial control and power distribution applications. The component is active in production and RoHS compliant. Equivalent parts may be required due to supply chain considerations, regional availability, or design flexibility within electrical and mechanical parameter tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFH08260 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Number of positions: 8
• Header type: Male pins, shrouded (2 side)
• Mounting type: Through hole, solder termination
• Pitch tolerance: 0.200" (5.08mm) nominal or 0.197" (5.00mm) within mechanical compatibility

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Voltage rating: Minimum 300V UL
• Current rating: Minimum 12A UL (substitute parts rated 12A are acceptable for applications not exceeding 12A)
• Material flammability: UL94 V-0

Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS compliance required
• Active product status preferred

The two identified substitute parts meet these criteria with minor pitch variation (5.00mm vs. 5.08mm) and reduced current rating in one case, which remains within acceptable substitution parameters for most industrial applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1753550 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBV, 5.00mm Pitch)

This substitute is suitable for applications where the 0.03mm pitch tolerance (5.00mm vs. 5.08mm) is mechanically acceptable. The reduced current rating of 12A UL requires verification that application current does not exceed this limit. The part maintains UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance. Contact tail length and insulation height are within 0.01" of the original specification.

1758076 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBV, 5.08mm Pitch)

This substitute provides exact pitch matching at 0.200" (5.08mm), eliminating mechanical tolerance concerns. The reduced current rating of 12A UL applies the same verification requirement as 1753550. The part maintains UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance. Physical dimensions are equivalent to the original specification.

Both substitutes are active products with current manufacturing status and meet all compliance requirements. Selection between them depends on pitch tolerance requirements and application current demands.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use 1753550 or 1758076 as direct replacements for ELFH08260?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent for applications operating at 12A or below. The 1758076 provides exact pitch matching (5.08mm). The 1753550 operates at 5.00mm pitch, which introduces a 0.03mm tolerance variance that must be evaluated for your specific PCB layout and connector mating requirements.

Q: What is the current rating difference, and does it matter?

A: The ELFH08260 is rated for 15A UL, while both substitutes are rated for 12A UL. If your application requires currents between 12A and 15A, the substitutes are not suitable. For applications at 12A or below, the substitutes are acceptable.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible?

A: Contact tail length and insulation height differ by approximately 0.01" (0.25mm) between the original and substitutes. These minor variations are within typical PCB design tolerances for through-hole mounting. Verify your specific PCB footprint requirements before selection.

Q: Do the substitutes meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and are RoHS compliant (ROHS3 status). Both are active products in current production.

Q: What is the difference between the two Phoenix Contact substitutes?

A: The primary difference is pitch: 1753550 operates at 5.00mm while 1758076 operates at 5.08mm (matching the original). Both have identical electrical ratings and compliance certifications. Choose 1758076 for exact pitch compatibility or 1753550 if your design accommodates the 5.00mm pitch standard.

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same design?

A: No. Mixing different pitch standards (5.00mm and 5.08mm) in the same application would require separate PCB footprints and connector designs. Standardize on one pitch for consistency.
