ELFH10280 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH10280 is a 10-position vertical terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD. This component features male pins with 4-side shrouding and a 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, designed for through-hole solder mounting. The part is currently active in production with 810 units in stock. Terminal block headers of this type are essential interconnect components in industrial control systems, power distribution modules, and signal routing applications where reliable, repeatable connections are required. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support design flexibility, supply chain continuity, and application-specific performance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFH10280 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must be 10
• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm) or 0.197" (5.00mm) are mechanically compatible within standard PCB design tolerances
• Type: Header with male pins and shrouding (2-side or 4-side acceptable)
• Header Orientation: Vertical
• Termination Style: Solder
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 minimum
• Electrical Performance: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed application requirements

Four substitute parts meet these criteria across different manufacturers and electrical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Pitch 5.08mm, 4-Side Shrouding)

The HARTING 14121017001000 and Phoenix Contact 1755817 are direct mechanical and electrical equivalents to the ELFH10280. Both maintain the 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and 4-side shrouding configuration. The HARTING part offers higher voltage rating (600 V UL) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 110°C). The Phoenix Contact 1755817 matches the original voltage specification (300 V UL) and provides higher IEC voltage rating (630 V). All three parts are active products with current RoHS compliance certifications.

Compatible Substitute (Pitch 5.00mm, 4-Side Shrouding)

The Phoenix Contact 1755503 operates at a slightly reduced pitch (0.197" / 5.00mm) with 4-side shrouding. This part carries lower current and voltage ratings (12 A / 300 V UL) compared to the ELFH10280 (15 A / 300 V UL). PCB layout modifications are required to accommodate the pitch difference. This part is suitable for applications where current requirements do not exceed 12 A.

Compatible Substitute (Pitch 5.00mm, 2-Side Shrouding)

The Phoenix Contact 1753592 features 2-side shrouding instead of 4-side, with a 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch. This configuration provides reduced EMI shielding compared to 4-side shrouded designs. Current and voltage ratings are 12 A and 300 V UL respectively. This part is applicable only when 2-side shrouding meets application requirements and current does not exceed 12 A.

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and are active products with full RoHS compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1755503 or 1753592 be used as direct replacements for the ELFH10280?

A: The Phoenix Contact parts are mechanically and functionally compatible but operate at reduced electrical ratings. The 1755503 and 1753592 are rated for 12 A maximum current versus 15 A for the ELFH10280. If your application requires the full 15 A capacity, these parts are not suitable. Additionally, the 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch requires PCB layout verification to confirm compatibility with existing footprints designed for 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing.

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

A: 4-side shrouding provides complete enclosure of the pin field on all four sides, offering maximum EMI shielding and mechanical protection. 2-side shrouding covers only two opposing sides. The ELFH10280 features 4-side shrouding. The Phoenix Contact 1753592 provides only 2-side shrouding and should be selected only when reduced shrouding meets application requirements.

Q: Is the HARTING 14121017001000 a suitable replacement for the ELFH10280?

A: Yes. The HARTING 14121017001000 is a direct equivalent with identical pitch (0.200" / 5.08mm), 4-side shrouding, and 10-position configuration. It exceeds the ELFH10280 specifications with 600 V UL rating versus 300 V, and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 110°C versus -40°C to 105°C). Both parts are active products with current RoHS compliance.

Q: What are the compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: The ELFH10280 is RoHS Compliant. All substitute parts carry ROHS3 Compliant certification, which represents the current regulatory standard. All parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The HARTING part includes REACH Unaffected status; Phoenix Contact parts include both REACH Unaffected status and ROHS3 Compliant designation.

Q: Can I use the Phoenix Contact 1755817 in place of the ELFH10280?

A: Yes. The Phoenix Contact 1755817 is a direct mechanical equivalent with matching 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and 4-side shrouding. Electrical ratings are identical (15 A / 300 V UL). The part is active and ROHS3 compliant. This is a suitable direct replacement.

Q: How do I verify pitch compatibility on my PCB?

A: Measure the center-to-center distance between adjacent pin positions on your PCB footprint. The ELFH10280 and equivalent parts use 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing. The Phoenix Contact 1755503 and 1753592 use 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing. A 0.003" (0.08mm) difference per position accumulates across the 10-position header. Verify your PCB design can accommodate the substitute pitch before assembly.
