ELFH10290 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH10290 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 maintains RoHS compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitute parts are identified for applications requiring alternative sourcing, higher voltage ratings, enhanced shrouding configurations, or different pitch specifications while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following core parameters: number of positions (10), vertical orientation, solder termination, through-hole mounting, and pitch specification. Four substitute parts meet these criteria with variations in shrouding configuration (2-side vs. 4-side), pitch tolerance (5.00mm vs. 5.08mm), voltage rating, current rating, and housing material composition.

Substitutes are grouped as follows:

Group 1: Exact Pitch Match (5.08mm) with Enhanced Shrouding

• 14121017001000 (HARTING): 4-side shrouding, higher voltage rating (600V UL)
• 1755817 (Phoenix Contact): 4-side shrouding, matching pitch and voltage

Group 2: Nominal Pitch Variation (5.00mm) with 2-Side Shrouding

• 1753592 (Phoenix Contact): Maintains 2-side shrouding configuration

Group 3: Nominal Pitch Variation (5.00mm) with 4-Side Shrouding

• 1755503 (Phoenix Contact): Enhanced shrouding with pitch tolerance

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and UL94 V-0 flammability compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with the ELFH10290.

For applications requiring exact pitch specification (5.08mm): Select 14121017001000 or 1755817. The HARTING 14121017001000 provides enhanced voltage capability (600V UL) with 4-side shrouding. The Phoenix Contact 1755817 maintains the same voltage rating as the main part (300V UL) while offering 4-side shrouding.

For applications tolerant of 5.00mm pitch variation: The Phoenix Contact 1753592 preserves the 2-side shrouding configuration of the ELFH10290 while the 1755503 provides 4-side shrouding. Both operate at 300V UL and 12A current rating.

For current-sensitive applications: The ELFH10290 and HARTING 14121017001000 support 15A UL current. Phoenix Contact substitutes are rated at 12A UL and are suitable only for applications not exceeding this threshold.

For enhanced mechanical protection: All Phoenix Contact and HARTING 4-side shrouded variants (14121017001000, 1755503, 1755817) provide superior shrouding compared to the 2-side configuration of the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a 5.00mm pitch substitute in place of the 5.08mm ELFH10290?

A: Pitch substitution depends on PCB design tolerance. The 0.08mm difference between 5.08mm and 5.00mm specifications may affect mechanical fit. Verify PCB pad spacing and connector receptacle compatibility before substitution.

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

A: 2-side shrouding provides insulation on two opposing sides of the connector. 4-side shrouding extends protection to all four sides, offering enhanced mechanical protection and reduced risk of accidental contact. Both configurations maintain the same electrical performance.

Q: Are Phoenix Contact substitutes compatible with the ELFH10290 in high-current applications?

A: Phoenix Contact substitutes are rated at 12A UL current, compared to the ELFH10290 at 15A UL. For applications requiring 15A operation, use the ELFH10290 or HARTING 14121017001000.

Q: Does the HARTING 14121017001000 offer advantages over the ELFH10290?

A: The HARTING 14121017001000 maintains exact pitch specification (5.08mm) and current rating (15A) while providing 4-side shrouding and higher voltage rating (600V UL vs. 300V UL). It is suitable for high-voltage applications requiring enhanced mechanical protection.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these substitutes?

A: The ELFH10290 is supplied in Tray packaging. Substitute parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The ELFH10290 is RoHS Compliant. All substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements.
