ELVF07400 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELVF07400 is a 7-position terminal block plug manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for inline applications with female sockets and 180° wire entry. This component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS compliant. Alternative models may be required due to inventory constraints, packaging preferences, or specific application requirements such as wire gauge compatibility or torque specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1850712 qualifies as a substitute for the ELVF07400 based on the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Both parts support 300 V UL voltage rating and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical 7-position configuration, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, and 180° free-hanging inline mounting
• Termination Interface: Both utilize screw-based termination with comparable torque specifications (0.25 Nm vs. 0.22-0.25 Nm range)
• Wire Compatibility: Overlapping wire gauge ranges (16-28 AWG for ELVF07400; 16-30 AWG for 1850712)
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating

Key Differences: The 1850712 operates at reduced UL current rating (8 A vs. 12 A) and uses pressure clip termination instead of rising cage clamp. Wire strip length differs slightly (9mm vs. 9.52mm).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELVF07400 Selection Criteria: Choose this part when applications require the full 12 A UL current rating and rising cage clamp termination. This component is suitable for higher-current inline applications and is available in black housing.

1850712 Selection Criteria: This substitute is appropriate for applications with current requirements up to 8 A UL. The pressure clip termination and extended wire gauge range (16-30 AWG) provide flexibility for smaller gauge conductors. Both parts maintain identical voltage ratings and flammability compliance, ensuring regulatory equivalence in UL94 V-0 applications.

Compliance Equivalence: Both parts are RoHS compliant, carry MSL 1 rating, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications, confirming regulatory and export compliance parity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1850712 directly replace the ELVF07400 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is valid only when application current requirements do not exceed 8 A UL. The ELVF07400 supports 12 A UL, while the 1850712 is rated for 8 A UL. Both maintain 300 V UL voltage compatibility and identical pitch/position configuration.

Q: What is the difference between rising cage clamp and pressure clip termination?

A: Both are screw-based termination methods. Rising cage clamp (ELVF07400) and pressure clip (1850712) differ in mechanical clamping mechanism but operate within comparable torque ranges (0.25 Nm vs. 0.22-0.25 Nm). Termination method selection depends on application assembly procedures and equipment compatibility.

Q: Are there wire gauge compatibility concerns?

A: The ELVF07400 accepts 16-28 AWG wire. The 1850712 accepts 16-30 AWG wire, providing extended compatibility with smaller gauge conductors. Both support the common 16-28 AWG range, ensuring overlap for standard applications.

Q: Do packaging differences affect technical compatibility?

A: The ELVF07400 is supplied in Tray packaging with 648 pieces in stock. The 1850712 is supplied in Bulk packaging with 907 pieces in stock. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; selection depends on inventory and procurement requirements.

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

A: The ELVF07400 specifies 105°C operating temperature. The 1850712 does not specify an operating temperature limit in the provided data. For applications requiring confirmed temperature ratings above ambient, the ELVF07400 provides explicit thermal specification.
