ELFH1212G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH1212G is a 5MM right-angle header terminal block manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for open-end position terminal block applications. This component is classified as Active product status with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply chain considerations, inventory availability, or specific application requirements where compatible electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFH1212G is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch specification: 5MM (0.197") spacing is the primary mechanical compatibility criterion
• Header orientation: Right angle (90°) configuration for PCB mounting alignment
• Color coding: Green housing for visual identification and circuit board standardization
• Connector type: Terminal block header with male pins for solder termination
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS and ECCN classification alignment
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 rating for standard storage and handling conditions

The substitute part 1-282812-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets these core substitution criteria through matching pitch, orientation, color, and compliance specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELFH1212G and 1-282812-2 maintain Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and supply chain stability. Both components carry RoHS compliance certifications (RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant respectively) and share identical MSL 1 ratings, indicating equivalent handling and storage requirements. The matching ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications confirm regulatory alignment for procurement and export documentation purposes.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability and lead time requirements from respective manufacturers
• Existing supply chain relationships and qualification status
• Inventory levels and bulk packaging requirements
• Specific application requirements for the 12-position configuration detailed in the TE Connectivity specification

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes 1-282812-2 a valid substitute for ELFH1212G?

A: Both components share the critical mechanical compatibility parameters: 5MM pitch spacing, right-angle (90°) header orientation, and green color coding. Both maintain Active product status, RoHS compliance, MSL 1 rating, and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications required for regulatory and procurement alignment.

Q: Are there differences in electrical performance between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-282812-2 specifies 15A UL current rating and 300V UL voltage rating. The ELFH1212G does not provide these electrical specifications in the available data. Verification of electrical requirements against application specifications is necessary before final selection.

Q: What is the significance of the 12-position configuration in 1-282812-2?

A: The 1-282812-2 is explicitly rated for 12 positions per level with single-level configuration. This specification should be cross-referenced with the ELFH1212G application requirements to confirm position count compatibility.

Q: Do both parts use the same termination method?

A: The 1-282812-2 specifies solder termination with through-hole mounting. The ELFH1212G termination style is not specified in available data. Confirm termination method compatibility with PCB design and assembly requirements before substitution.

Q: Are there temperature operating range considerations?

A: The 1-282812-2 operates across -40°C to 110°C. The ELFH1212G operating temperature range is not specified. Applications requiring temperature performance verification should reference the TE Connectivity specification or request detailed thermal data from Amphenol PCD.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: Both designations indicate RoHS compliance. ROHS3 represents the third iteration of RoHS regulations with expanded substance restrictions. Both parts meet current RoHS requirements; ROHS3 designation indicates compliance with the most current regulatory standard.
