ELVF12400 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELVF12400 is a 12-position terminal block plug manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for free-hanging in-line applications with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing. This component features female sockets with screw-rising cage clamp termination, rated for 12 A at 300 V (UL), and operates up to 105°C. The part is active in production and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for industrial control, automation, and power distribution applications where modular connectivity is required. Equivalent substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory availability, regional sourcing requirements, or specific packaging preferences.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ELVF12400 with equivalent parts is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• 12-position configuration with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing
• Female socket plug type with 180° wire entry orientation
• Free-hanging in-line mounting configuration
• Screw-based termination method (rising cage clamp or pressure clip variants acceptable)
• Minimum current rating of 8 A and voltage rating of 300 V (UL standard)
• Wire gauge compatibility within 16-30 AWG range
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• RoHS compliance status

The Phoenix Contact 1850767 meets these substitution criteria as a functionally equivalent alternative, with compatible electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELVF12400 and 1850767 are active production components with equivalent regulatory compliance. The ELVF12400 offers a higher current rating of 12 A compared to the 1850767 at 8 A, making it suitable for higher-power applications within the 300 V UL specification. The ELVF12400 features a larger insulation height (21.59mm) and operates to 105°C, providing thermal margin in demanding environments.

The 1850767 provides an alternative with ROHS3 compliance and extended wire gauge compatibility (16-30 AWG versus 16-28 AWG), with a more compact insulation height of 12.30mm suitable for space-constrained installations. Both components use tin contact mating finish and UL94 V-0 rated housing materials.

Selection between these parts should be based on application current requirements, available mounting space, and specific sourcing or inventory constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1850767 directly replace the ELVF12400 in all applications?

A: The 1850767 is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications requiring 8 A or less at 300 V. Applications requiring the full 12 A rating of the ELVF12400 require the original part or equivalent rated at 12 A minimum.

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

A: Both are screw-based termination methods. Rising cage clamp (ELVF12400) and pressure clip (1850767) provide equivalent wire retention and electrical contact through different mechanical designs. Torque specifications are comparable (0.25 Nm and 0.22-0.25 Nm respectively).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The ELVF12400 is supplied in tray packaging, while the 1850767 is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects handling, storage, and ordering quantities but does not impact functional performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Both parts are UL94 V-0 rated and RoHS compliant. The ELVF12400 is RoHS Compliant, while the 1850767 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current environmental and safety requirements.

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility range for each part?

A: The ELVF12400 accepts 16-28 AWG wire. The 1850767 accepts 16-30 AWG wire, providing broader compatibility with smaller gauge conductors (29-30 AWG).

Q: How do the insulation heights compare?

A: The ELVF12400 has an insulation height of 0.850" (21.59mm), while the 1850767 measures 0.484" (12.30mm). The ELVF12400 is taller and may require different mounting clearances in compact enclosures.
