ELFP16110 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFP16110 is a 16-position terminal block plug manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for inline applications requiring screw-based wire termination. This component features female sockets with 5.00mm pitch spacing and operates across industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to 95°C). The part is currently active in production with 655 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and safety certifications can be maintained across different manufacturer implementations. Substitution becomes necessary due to supply constraints, lead time requirements, or design standardization across multiple sourcing channels.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFP16110 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count: Must equal 16 positions to maintain connector interface compatibility
• Pitch Tolerance: Acceptable range 0.197" to 0.200" (5.00mm to 5.08mm) to accommodate standard manufacturing tolerances and interchangeable mating surfaces
• Termination Method: Screw-based cage clamp termination required for equivalent wire connection reliability
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 300 V UL rating to maintain electrical safety margins
• Current Capacity: Minimum 10 A UL rating for standard industrial load applications
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Overlap in acceptable AWG ranges (12-26 AWG minimum)
• Flammability Certification: UL94 V-0 rating mandatory for safety compliance
• RoHS Compliance: Parts must meet RoHS or ROHS3 standards for regulatory alignment

The Phoenix Contact 1786310 meets these substitution criteria despite differences in contact gender (male pins vs. female sockets) and pitch specification (5.08mm vs. 5.00mm), as these represent standard manufacturing variations within the terminal block product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELFP16110 (Primary Selection)

Use the ELFP16110 when:

• Current requirements exceed 10 A and approach the 15 A UL rating
• Operating temperature range must be guaranteed between -40°C and 95°C
• Screw torque specification of 0.79 Nm is required by assembly equipment or procedures
• Female socket configuration is specified in the system design

1786310 (Substitute Selection)

The Phoenix Contact 1786310 is substitutable when:

• Circuit current does not exceed 10 A UL rating
• Male pin contact configuration is compatible with the mating receptacle design
• Screw torque range of 0.5-0.6 Nm is acceptable for assembly procedures
• ROHS3 compliance status meets regulatory requirements
• Pitch tolerance of 5.08mm (0.200") is acceptable within mechanical assembly constraints

Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification, 300 V UL voltage rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring equivalent safety and reliability performance in industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1786310 directly replace the ELFP16110 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct mechanical replacement requires verification of mating connector compatibility. The 1786310 features male pins while the ELFP16110 features female sockets. Pitch difference (5.08mm vs. 5.00mm) falls within standard manufacturing tolerance but must be confirmed with the mating receptacle specification. Contact configuration must match the system design.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch difference between 5.00mm and 5.08mm?

A: The 0.08mm difference represents standard manufacturing tolerance in terminal block production. Both pitches are within the 5mm pitch family and are considered interchangeable for most industrial applications. However, assembly with precision-molded receptacles may require tolerance verification.

Q: Why does the 1786310 have a lower current rating (10 A vs. 15 A)?

A: Current rating differences reflect manufacturer design specifications and testing protocols. The 1786310 is suitable for applications requiring up to 10 A. Applications exceeding 10 A must use the ELFP16110 or verify that the 1786310 meets specific circuit requirements through thermal analysis.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same temperature range?

A: The ELFP16110 specifies -40°C to 95°C operating temperature. The 1786310 does not provide an operating temperature specification in the available data. For applications requiring guaranteed temperature performance across this range, the ELFP16110 is the specified choice.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The ELFP16110 is supplied in Tray packaging with 655 units in stock. The 1786310 is supplied in Bulk packaging with 877 units in stock. Packaging selection depends on inventory management, handling procedures, and supply chain requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: The ELFP16110 is RoHS Compliant. The 1786310 is ROHS3 Compliant, which represents the current regulatory standard. Both parts meet modern environmental and safety compliance requirements for industrial component applications.
