ELFH09160 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH09160 is a 9-position terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for vertical through-hole mounting with 5.00mm pitch spacing. This component is classified as an active product and serves as a connector interface for electrical termination in industrial and commercial applications. The need to identify equivalent and substitute parts arises from inventory availability, lead time considerations, and supply chain optimization across different manufacturers while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFH09160 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: Both main and substitute parts must have 9 positions with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts.
• Header Configuration: Male pins with 2-side shrouding are required to maintain the same form factor and polarization characteristics.
• Mounting & Termination: Vertical through-hole orientation with solder termination ensures compatibility with existing assembly processes and PCB designs.
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage and current ratings must meet or exceed the application requirements (300 V UL, 15 A UL minimum).
• Compliance & Temperature: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C establish the baseline environmental and safety requirements.

The Phoenix Contact 1753576 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELFH09160 and 1753576 are active products with current manufacturing status and full compliance certifications. The ELFH09160 maintains RoHS compliance with a specified operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The Phoenix Contact 1753576 achieves ROHS3 compliance and also carries UL94 V-0 certification, meeting the same safety standards.

The primary electrical difference is the UL current rating: the ELFH09160 is rated at 15 A while the 1753576 is rated at 12 A. For applications requiring the full 15 A capacity, the ELFH09160 remains the specified choice. The 1753576 is suitable for applications operating at or below 12 A UL current.

Mechanical dimensions are equivalent within manufacturing tolerances, with contact tail length and insulation height differing by less than 0.002" (0.05mm). Both parts feature identical pitch, position count, and shrouded male pin configuration, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB footprints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1753576 be used as a direct replacement for the ELFH09160 in all applications?

A: The 1753576 is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications operating at 12 A or below at 300 V UL. Applications requiring the full 15 A UL rating must use the ELFH09160.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: Dimensions are equivalent within manufacturing tolerances. Contact tail length differs by 0.001" (0.04mm) and insulation height by 0.003" (0.07mm), which are negligible for standard PCB mounting and connector mating.

Q: Do both parts meet the same flammability and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The ELFH09160 is RoHS Compliant and the 1753576 is ROHS3 Compliant, both meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The ELFH09160 is supplied in Tray packaging while the 1753576 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges the same?

A: The ELFH09160 specifies -40°C to 105°C operating temperature. The 1753576 operating temperature is not specified in the provided data. Verify temperature requirements with the application specification before substitution.
