ELVD20100 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELVD20100 is a 20-position terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for through-hole solder mounting applications. This shrouded, right-angle header features male pins with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing and operates at 300V UL with 12A current capacity. The component is actively produced and stocked, with RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Equivalent parts are identified when mechanical form factor, electrical ratings, and mounting characteristics align within acceptable tolerances for direct circuit board substitution.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELVD20100 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Position Configuration: 20 positions arranged in 2 levels of 10 positions each
Pitch Spacing: 0.150" (3.81mm) center-to-center contact spacing
Mechanical Form Factor: Right-angle, shrouded (4-side) header with male pins
Mounting Interface: Through-hole solder termination
Electrical Performance: Voltage rating of 300V UL and current capacity of 12A UL or greater
Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 material rating
Contact Geometry: 0.138" (4.60mm) tail length and 0.890" (22.61mm) insulation height

The Phoenix Contact 1843156 meets these substitution criteria with equivalent mechanical dimensions, matching pitch, identical position count, and compatible electrical ratings.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1843156 is a direct mechanical and electrical equivalent to the ELVD20100 for applications requiring 20-position, 3.81mm pitch terminal block headers with right-angle through-hole mounting. Both components meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate at 300V UL. The 1843156 carries ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory standards.

The primary electrical difference is the current rating: the ELVD20100 is rated for 12A UL, while the 1843156 is rated for 8A UL. Selection between these parts depends on circuit current requirements. For applications requiring 12A capacity, the ELVD20100 is the appropriate choice. For applications operating at 8A or below, either part is suitable.

Both components feature identical contact tail length (0.138") and insulation height within 0.004" tolerance, ensuring compatible PCB footprint and mating interface performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1843156 replace the ELVD20100 in all applications?

A: The 1843156 is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications operating at 8A or below. For circuits requiring the full 12A capacity of the ELVD20100, the Phoenix Contact part is not suitable due to its lower current rating.

Q: Are the PCB footprints identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (0.150"), contact tail length (0.138"), and equivalent insulation height (within 0.004" tolerance), ensuring compatible PCB mounting patterns.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The ELVD20100 is supplied in Tray packaging, while the 1843156 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do both parts meet current RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The ELVD20100 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1843156 is ROHS3 Compliant, both meeting applicable regulatory standards.

Q: Are there differences in operating temperature specifications?

A: The ELVD20100 specifies 125°C maximum operating temperature. Operating temperature for the 1843156 is not provided in the available data. Verify thermal requirements for your specific application.

Q: What is the voltage rating for both parts?

A: Both the ELVD20100 and 1843156 are rated for 300V UL, suitable for standard industrial control and signal distribution applications.
