ELFP06210 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFP06210 is a 6-position terminal block plug manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for inline applications with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing and 180° free-hanging wire entry. This component features screw-type rising cage clamp termination and is rated for 15 A at 300 V per UL standards. The part is currently active in production with 919 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with application requirements, enabling procurement flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFP06210 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (15 A UL), voltage rating (300 V UL), and contact mating finish (tin) must match or exceed the main part specifications.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Number of positions (6), pitch spacing (0.200" / 5.08mm), plug wire entry angle (180°), termination style (screw-type rising cage clamp), and mounting type (free hanging in-line) must be identical.
• Environmental & Compliance: Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0), RoHS compliance status, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) establish baseline qualification.

The substitute part 796635-6 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Buchanan series) meets these criteria with matching electrical ratings, identical mechanical configuration, and equivalent compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELFP06210 and 796635-6 are active production components with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability, packaging format, and compliance requirements:

• ELFP06210 is supplied in tray packaging with 919 units currently in stock.
• 796635-6 is supplied in bulk packaging with 2321 units currently in stock and carries REACH compliance documentation in addition to RoHS3 certification.

The substitute part 796635-6 demonstrates extended operating temperature capability (-40°C to 110°C versus -40°C to 95°C) and enhanced compliance status, making it suitable for applications requiring higher temperature margins or REACH-regulated supply chains. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical fit within the specified parameter envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 796635-6 be used as a direct replacement for ELFP06210?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch spacing (5.08mm), position count (6), wire entry angle (180°), termination method (screw-type rising cage clamp), and electrical ratings (15 A / 300 V). Mechanical fit and electrical performance are equivalent.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Amphenol PCD versus TE Connectivity), housing material (PPO versus PA66 nylon), contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), operating temperature range (95°C versus 110°C maximum), and packaging format (tray versus bulk). Electrical and mechanical compatibility remains unchanged.

Q: Does the substitute part support the same wire gauge range?

A: The ELFP06210 supports 12 AWG and 14-26 AWG. The 796635-6 supports 12-30 AWG, providing broader wire gauge compatibility. Both parts accommodate the primary specification range of the main part.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching between these parts?

A: Yes. The ELFP06210 is supplied in tray packaging, while 796635-6 is supplied in bulk packaging. Procurement and handling procedures may differ based on packaging format and inventory management requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. The 796635-6 additionally carries ROHS3 and REACH compliance documentation, making it suitable for applications with enhanced regulatory requirements.
