ELFH13280 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFH13280 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 667 units in stock.

Substitute parts may be required due to supply chain constraints, regional availability, or design flexibility within electrical parameter tolerances. Phoenix Contact manufactures compatible alternatives that maintain functional equivalence while offering different pitch specifications and shrouding configurations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

Position Count: All substitute parts maintain 13 positions, ensuring connector compatibility
Pitch Tolerance: Substitute parts operate at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, representing a 0.003" (0.08mm) deviation from the main part
Shrouding Configuration: Substitutes are available in both 2-side and 4-side shrouding options
Electrical Ratings: Substitute parts are rated for 12A (IEC) and 400V (IEC), with 12A and 300V (UL) ratings
Termination and Mounting: All parts use solder termination with through-hole mounting
Compliance: All parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS standards

The Phoenix Contact alternatives (1753657 and 1755613) are functionally equivalent within the allowed electrical and mechanical parameter ranges for this terminal block category.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELFH13280 (Primary Selection) Use when 15A current capacity is required. This part provides the highest current rating among the three options and maintains active production status with established supply availability.

1755613 (Preferred Substitute) Select this Phoenix Contact part when ELFH13280 is unavailable. It matches the 4-side shrouding configuration of the main part and maintains UL94 V-0 compliance and ROHS3 certification. The 12A current rating is suitable for applications not requiring the full 15A capacity of the primary part.

1753657 (Alternative Substitute) This Phoenix Contact option provides 2-side shrouding instead of 4-side. Use only when 4-side shrouding is not a design requirement. It meets the same voltage and flammability standards as the primary part and carries ROHS3 compliance.

All three parts are active products with current manufacturing status and meet applicable regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1753657 or 1755613 be used as direct replacements for ELFH13280? A: Both Phoenix Contact parts are functionally equivalent within the allowed electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary differences are pitch tolerance (0.003" variation), current rating (12A versus 15A), and shrouding configuration (2-side versus 4-side for 1753657). Selection depends on application requirements and design constraints.

Q: What is the pitch difference between ELFH13280 and the substitute parts? A: ELFH13280 operates at 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, while both Phoenix Contact substitutes operate at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch. This 0.003" (0.08mm) difference is within standard tolerance ranges for terminal block connectors in this category.

Q: Does the shrouding configuration affect compatibility? A: Shrouding configuration affects mechanical fit and EMI shielding characteristics. ELFH13280 and 1755613 both feature 4-side shrouding, while 1753657 features 2-side shrouding. The choice depends on whether full shrouding is required for the application.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. ELFH13280 is RoHS Compliant, while 1753657 and 1755613 are ROHS3 Compliant. Both certifications meet current regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the current rating difference, and does it matter? A: ELFH13280 is rated for 15A (UL), while both Phoenix Contact substitutes are rated for 12A (UL). Use the Amphenol part if the application requires the full 15A capacity. Use Phoenix Contact substitutes for applications operating at or below 12A.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts? A: ELFH13280 is supplied in Tray packaging, while both Phoenix Contact substitutes are supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
