ELFH13180 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH13180 is a 13-position terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for vertical through-hole mounting with 5.00mm pitch spacing. This component features male pins with 4-side shrouding and is rated for 15A at 300V (UL). The part is currently active in production with 902 units in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when designs require alternative sourcing, inventory optimization, or when the primary manufacturer part becomes unavailable. Substitutes must maintain functional compatibility across electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and mounting characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFH13180 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Requirements:

• 13 positions with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing
• Vertical through-hole mounting orientation
• Male pin configuration with solder termination
• Shrouded design (4-side shrouding preferred for mechanical compatibility)
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Tin contact mating finish

Electrical Compatibility:

• Voltage rating minimum 300V (UL standard)
• Current rating minimum 12A (IEC) or 12A (UL) acceptable for most applications; 15A (UL) is primary specification

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Through-hole PCB mounting
• Polyamide or nylon housing materials
• RoHS compliance required

The substitute parts listed below meet these core requirements and are functionally equivalent for direct replacement in applications requiring 13-position, 5.00mm pitch terminal block headers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: ELFH13180 (Amphenol PCD)

The ELFH13180 is the specified component with active production status, RoHS compliance, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Current UL rating of 15A provides margin above typical application requirements.

Substitute Selection: 1755613 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBVA)

The 1755613 is the preferred substitute when ELFH13180 is unavailable. This part maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility through:

• Identical 13-position, 5.00mm pitch configuration
• 4-side shrouded design matching the primary part
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• ROHS3 compliance (exceeds RoHS requirements)
• 12A UL current rating (acceptable for applications not requiring 15A margin)
• 300V UL voltage rating (equivalent to primary part)
• Active production status

Alternative Substitute: 1753657 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MSTBV)

The 1753657 is a secondary substitute option with the following considerations:

• Identical 13-position, 5.00mm pitch configuration
• 2-side shrouded design (differs from 4-side shrouding of primary part)
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• ROHS3 compliance
• 12A UL current rating
• 300V UL voltage rating
• Active production status

The 2-side shrouding of 1753657 may affect mechanical fit in applications designed specifically for 4-side shrouded headers. Verify PCB footprint compatibility before selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1753657 or 1755613 be used as direct replacements for ELFH13180?

A: Both parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for 13-position, 5.00mm pitch terminal block headers with vertical through-hole mounting. The 1755613 is preferred due to matching 4-side shrouded design. The 1753657 features 2-side shrouding and requires verification of PCB footprint compatibility.

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

A: Shrouding refers to the protective housing around the pin array. 4-side shrouding provides enclosure on all four sides of the pin field, while 2-side shrouding provides enclosure on two opposing sides. PCB footprints are designed for specific shroud configurations; verify compatibility before substitution.

Q: Are the current ratings of 12A (Phoenix Contact) acceptable for applications rated at 15A (Amphenol)?

A: The 12A rating of Phoenix Contact parts is lower than the 15A rating of ELFH13180. Applications operating at or near 15A require the primary part or verification that actual current draw does not exceed 12A. For applications with current draw below 12A, the Phoenix Contact substitutes are acceptable.

Q: Do all three parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. ELFH13180 is RoHS Compliant. Both Phoenix Contact parts (1753657 and 1755613) are ROHS3 Compliant, which exceeds standard RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the voltage compatibility between these parts?

A: ELFH13180 is rated 300V (UL). Both Phoenix Contact substitutes are rated 300V (UL) and 400V (IEC). All parts are electrically compatible for 300V applications.

Q: Are there differences in operating temperature ranges?

A: ELFH13180 specifies -40°C to 105°C operating temperature. Operating temperature data is not provided for the Phoenix Contact substitutes (1753657 and 1755613). Verify thermal specifications with manufacturer datasheets if operating temperature range is a critical design parameter.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: ELFH13180 is supplied in Tray packaging. Both Phoenix Contact substitutes (1753657 and 1755613) are supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for procurement and handling procedures.
