Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 1-796636-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) qualifies as an equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm) — matches the primary dimensional specification
• Orientation: Vertical — maintains the same mounting orientation
• Category: Terminal Blocks — same functional classification
• Mounting Type: Through Hole — compatible with PCB assembly methods
• Packaging: Bulk — consistent supply format
• Product Status: Active — current manufacturing availability
• Compliance: Both RoHS compliant and EAR99 classified

These parameters establish the foundation for functional interchangeability in applications requiring vertical-mount terminal block headers with 5.08mm pitch spacing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELFH1225G and 1-796636-2 maintain active product status with current manufacturing support. Selection between these components should be based on:

Compliance Alignment: The ELFH1225G carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the 1-796636-2 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both satisfy RoHS requirements and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, ensuring regulatory consistency in supply chain applications.

Availability: The ELFH1225G has 1114 units in stock, while the 1-796636-2 has 983 units available. Both represent adequate inventory levels for production requirements.

Specification Completeness: The TE Connectivity 1-796636-2 provides detailed electrical and thermal specifications (15 A UL current rating, 300 V UL voltage rating, -40°C ~ 110°C operating temperature, UL94 V-0 flammability rating), which may be required for applications with defined performance criteria. The Amphenol ELFH1225G specification sheet should be consulted for equivalent performance data when detailed ratings are necessary for design validation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes 1-796636-2 a valid substitute for ELFH1225G?

A: Both components share the critical substitution parameters: 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, vertical orientation, terminal block category, through-hole mounting compatibility, bulk packaging, active product status, and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications. These parameters establish functional interchangeability for applications requiring vertical-mount terminal block headers.

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

A: The 1-796636-2 specifies 15 A UL current rating and 300 V UL voltage rating with -40°C ~ 110°C operating temperature. The ELFH1225G electrical specifications are not provided in this reference. Consult the manufacturer datasheets to confirm electrical performance equivalence for your specific application requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes, both components feature identical 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and vertical orientation, making them mechanically compatible with the same PCB footprint and mounting pattern. Verify that the number of positions and termination style match your circuit design requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS and ROHS3 designations?

A: Both designations indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant are both acceptable for applications requiring lead-free component sourcing. The difference reflects the revision level of the compliance standard; both satisfy current regulatory requirements.

Q: How should I handle inventory selection between these two parts?

A: The ELFH1225G has higher inventory availability (1114 units vs. 983 units). For high-volume production, the ELFH1225G may offer better lead time assurance. For applications where either part is acceptable, inventory levels should be considered alongside supplier delivery schedules and cost factors.

Q: Are there any packaging or handling differences?

A: Both components are supplied in bulk packaging with identical Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling. Standard component handling procedures apply to both parts.
