ELFH13250 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH13250 is a 13-position terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for vertical through-hole mounting with 0.200" (5.08mm) 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 862 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical compatibility, and functional characteristics align with the original specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFH13250 is determined by the following criteria:

• Position Count: Must be 13 positions
• Pitch Tolerance: 0.200" (5.08mm) nominal, with 0.197" (5.00mm) acceptable as a mechanical equivalent
• Shrouding Configuration: 4-side shrouding required for direct substitution
• Termination: Solder termination only
• Mounting: Through-hole vertical orientation
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage rating of 300V UL minimum; current rating of 12A UL or higher
• Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating; RoHS compliance required

The substitute parts 1753657 and 1755613 meet these criteria with minor pitch variation (5.00mm vs. 5.08mm) and equivalent electrical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitution (1755613): The Phoenix Contact 1755613 provides the closest functional equivalence to the ELFH13250. Both components feature 4-side shrouding, 13 positions, vertical through-hole mounting, and solder termination. The 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch is mechanically compatible with 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing. Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and 300V voltage ratings. The 12A UL current rating of the 1755613 is lower than the ELFH13250's 15A rating but remains within acceptable operating parameters for most applications. ROHS3 compliance of the 1755613 exceeds the RoHS compliance of the original part.

Secondary Substitution (1753657): The Phoenix Contact 1753657 shares the same pitch, position count, and electrical ratings as the 1755613 but features 2-side shrouding instead of 4-side. This configuration difference may affect mechanical fit and EMI shielding characteristics depending on application requirements. The 1753657 is suitable only when 2-side shrouding is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1755613 be used as a direct replacement for the ELFH13250?

A: The 1755613 is functionally equivalent for applications requiring 13-position, vertical, solder-terminated terminal blocks. The 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch is mechanically compatible with 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing. The 12A UL current rating is lower than the original 15A rating; verify that your application does not exceed 12A per contact.

Q: What is the difference between the 1753657 and 1755613?

A: Both are Phoenix Contact COMBICON series 13-position terminal blocks with identical electrical ratings and pitch. The primary difference is shrouding: the 1753657 has 2-side shrouding, while the 1755613 has 4-side shrouding. The ELFH13250 features 4-side shrouding, making the 1755613 the closer match.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns with the pitch difference?

A: The pitch difference between 0.200" (5.08mm) and 0.197" (5.00mm) is 0.003" (0.08mm). This variation is within standard PCB tolerance ranges and does not prevent mechanical mating. However, verify PCB footprint design to ensure adequate clearance.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both substitute parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and 300V UL voltage ratings. The 1755613 and 1753657 carry ROHS3 compliance, which exceeds the RoHS compliance of the ELFH13250. Both are suitable for applications requiring equivalent regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the impact of the different housing materials?

A: The ELFH13250 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), while the Phoenix Contact substitutes use Polyamide (PA) Nylon. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards. Material selection may affect thermal performance and chemical resistance in specific environments; verify compatibility with your application conditions.
