ELFH10260 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH10260 is a 10-position vertical terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD. This component features male pins with 2-side shrouding, a 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, and solder termination for through-hole mounting. The part is actively produced and widely used in industrial control, telecommunications, and power distribution applications where reliable connector interfaces are required. Substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, supply chain alternatives, and compatibility options across different manufacturing specifications and voltage ratings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFH10260 is determined by the following core parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must be 10
• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm) or 0.197" (5.00mm) are mechanically compatible within standard connector tolerances
• Header Orientation: Must be vertical
• Termination Style: Must be solder
• Mounting Type: Must be through hole
• Shrouding Configuration: 2-side or 4-side shrouding both acceptable; 4-side provides enhanced EMI shielding
• Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed application requirements
• Compliance: RoHS and flammability ratings must satisfy regulatory requirements

Four substitute parts meet these criteria across different manufacturers and configurations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Identical Pitch and Shrouding)

The ELFH10260 and 1755817 (Phoenix Contact) share identical pitch (0.200" / 5.08mm) and 2-side shrouding configuration. Both are RoHS compliant and UL94 V-0 rated. The 1755817 operates at higher IEC voltage (630 V) but equivalent UL voltage (300 V). This part is the closest functional equivalent.

Enhanced Shielding Alternative (4-Side Shrouding)

The 14121017001000 (HARTING) and 1755503 (Phoenix Contact) provide 4-side shrouding for improved EMI protection. The HARTING part maintains the 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and 15 A current rating, with elevated voltage rating (600 V UL). The Phoenix Contact 1755503 uses 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch with 12 A current rating. Both are suitable where enhanced electromagnetic shielding is required.

Pitch Tolerance Consideration

Parts 1753592 and 1755503 operate at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch versus the original 0.200" (5.08mm). This 0.03mm difference per position accumulates to approximately 0.27mm across 10 positions and may affect mechanical fit with existing mating connectors designed for 5.08mm spacing.

Current Rating Consideration

The ELFH10260 and 14121017001000 are rated for 15 A (UL). Phoenix Contact substitutes (1753592, 1755503, 1755817) are rated for 12 A (UL). Applications requiring 15 A continuous current must use the Amphenol or HARTING parts.

Compliance and Regulatory

All parts are RoHS compliant and UL94 V-0 rated. The HARTING part includes REACH Unaffected status. All parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS code (8536.69.4040).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the ELFH10260 with a Phoenix Contact part that has 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch instead of 0.200" (5.08mm)?

A: Mechanical compatibility depends on the mating connector design. The 0.03mm pitch difference per position results in approximately 0.27mm cumulative spacing variation across 10 positions. Verify that the mating connector accommodates this tolerance before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between 2-side and 4-side shrouding?

A: 2-side shrouding (ELFH10260, 1753592) provides lateral protection. 4-side shrouding (14121017001000, 1755503, 1755817) adds top and bottom coverage, offering enhanced EMI shielding and mechanical protection. Select 4-side shrouding for applications with electromagnetic interference concerns.

Q: Are all substitute parts rated for 15 A?

A: No. The ELFH10260 and 14121017001000 are rated for 15 A (UL). The three Phoenix Contact substitutes (1753592, 1755503, 1755817) are rated for 12 A (UL). Verify current requirements before substitution.

Q: Which substitute part is the closest equivalent to the ELFH10260?

A: The 1755817 (Phoenix Contact) matches the 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and 2-side shrouding configuration. Both are RoHS compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and actively produced. Voltage and current ratings are equivalent for UL applications.

Q: Do all parts have the same operating temperature range?

A: No. The ELFH10260 operates from -40°C to 105°C. The 14121017001000 extends to 110°C. Phoenix Contact parts do not specify operating temperature. Verify temperature requirements for your application.

Q: Are these parts interchangeable in existing designs?

A: Interchangeability depends on three factors: (1) mating connector pitch tolerance, (2) current and voltage requirements, and (3) shrouding configuration preference. Verify all three before substitution.
