ELFH12130 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH12130 is a 12-position terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for through-hole solder mounting applications. This shrouded male pin header operates at 15 A (UL) and 300 V (UL) with a 5.00mm pitch and 90° right-angle orientation. The component is actively produced and RoHS compliant, serving as a standard interconnection solution in industrial and commercial electronics. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, regional sourcing preferences, or specific application constraints.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELFH12130 can be substituted with 1-282812-2 based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• 12-position configuration with identical pitch (5.00mm)
• 90° right-angle through-hole mounting
• Solder termination style
• Matching current (15 A UL) and voltage (300 V UL) ratings
• UL94 V-0 flammability compliance
• RoHS compliance status

The primary difference between these parts is the shrouding configuration: the ELFH12130 features 4-side shrouding, while the 1-282812-2 provides 2-side shrouding. Both configurations maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for standard terminal block applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELFH12130 and 1-282812-2 meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for 12-position, 5.00mm pitch terminal block applications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Shrouding requirements: The ELFH12130 provides enhanced protection with 4-side shrouding, while the 1-282812-2 offers 2-side shrouding with side stacking capability.
• Operating temperature: The 1-282812-2 supports a slightly higher maximum temperature (110°C vs. 105°C).
• Compliance certifications: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards and RoHS requirements.
• Inventory and packaging: ELFH12130 is supplied in trays; 1-282812-2 is supplied in bulk.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-282812-2 directly replace the ELFH12130 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the application does not require 4-side shrouding. The electrical ratings, pitch, position count, and mounting style are identical. The 2-side shrouding of the 1-282812-2 may affect mechanical fit in confined spaces or applications requiring maximum EMI shielding.

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

A: 4-side shrouding (ELFH12130) provides complete perimeter protection around the header pins, while 2-side shrouding (1-282812-2) protects only two opposing sides. 2-side shrouding allows for side stacking of multiple headers.

Q: Are there temperature rating differences that affect substitution?

A: The 1-282812-2 supports operation up to 110°C compared to 105°C for the ELFH12130. This makes the 1-282812-2 suitable for higher-temperature applications, though both parts operate within standard industrial ranges.

Q: Do the different housing materials affect compatibility?

A: The ELFH12130 uses Polyamide PA46 (Nylon 4/6), while the 1-282812-2 uses Polyamide PA66 (Nylon 6/6). Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for the specified electrical and thermal conditions.

Q: What packaging considerations should be noted?

A: The ELFH12130 is supplied in trays, while the 1-282812-2 is supplied in bulk. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
