ELFH09260 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH09260 is a 9-position terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for vertical through-hole mounting with 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 actively produced and stocked at 1110 units, making it readily available for new designs and production runs. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified for applications requiring alternative sourcing, inventory optimization, or design flexibility across compatible electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFH09260 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: All substitutes must maintain 9 positions with pitch spacing between 5.00mm and 5.08mm to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts.
• Header Type & Orientation: Vertical orientation with male pins and 2-side shrouding is required to maintain form factor and polarization.
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum voltage rating of 300V UL and minimum current rating of 12A UL ensures safe operation within the original design envelope.
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination is mandatory for PCB integration compatibility.
• Compliance: RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating are required for regulatory and safety adherence.

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: Phoenix Contact 1753576 and TE Connectivity 282825-9. Both maintain the 9-position vertical shrouded header configuration with compatible electrical ratings and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELFH09260 (Amphenol PCD) remains the primary specification. This part is actively produced, RoHS compliant, and rated for 15A UL current with 300V UL voltage. Operating temperature range extends to 105°C, and the component is available in tray packaging with 1110 units in stock.

282825-9 (TE Connectivity) is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent. It maintains identical 5.08mm pitch, 15A UL current rating, and 300V UL voltage specification. Operating temperature extends to 110°C. This part is RoHS compliant and available in bulk packaging with 842 units in stock. The TE Connectivity part includes side stacking features and is suitable for applications requiring extended temperature performance.

1753576 (Phoenix Contact) is a compatible substitute with minor pitch tolerance variation (5.00mm vs. 5.08mm). It maintains 300V UL voltage and UL94 V-0 flammability rating but operates at 12A UL current, which is lower than the original specification. This part is ROHS3 compliant and available in bulk packaging with 1550 units in stock. The Phoenix Contact part is suitable for applications with current requirements at or below 12A UL.

All three parts are actively produced and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1753576 be used as a direct replacement for the ELFH09260?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1753576 is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications operating at 12A UL or below. The pitch difference of 0.08mm (5.00mm vs. 5.08mm) is within typical PCB tolerance for through-hole mounting. However, if the original design requires the full 15A UL current rating, the TE Connectivity 282825-9 is the preferred substitute.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch tolerance between 5.00mm and 5.08mm?

A: Pitch tolerance affects PCB hole spacing and mating connector compatibility. The 0.08mm difference is typically accommodated within standard PCB manufacturing tolerances (±0.1mm for through-hole designs). Verify mating connector specifications before substitution.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The ELFH09260 and 282825-9 are RoHS Compliant. The 1753576 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both designations meet current RoHS directive requirements and are suitable for EU market applications.

Q: What is the difference between tray and bulk packaging?

A: The ELFH09260 is supplied in tray packaging (1110 units), which provides organized component storage and automated pick-and-place compatibility. The 1753576 and 282825-9 are supplied in bulk packaging, which is suitable for high-volume production and manual assembly operations. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: The TE Connectivity 282825-9 is a direct interchangeable substitute with identical pitch, current rating, and voltage specification. The Phoenix Contact 1753576 is compatible for applications operating at 12A UL or below and requires verification of mating connector compatibility due to pitch tolerance. PCB layout and connector specifications should be reviewed before substitution.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part?

A: ELFH09260 operates from -40°C to 105°C. The 282825-9 operates from -40°C to 110°C, providing 5°C additional high-temperature margin. The 1753576 operating temperature range was not provided in the specification data.
