ELVH05500 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELVH05500 is a 5-position terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for vertical through-hole mounting with male pins and 4-side shrouding. This component operates at 300V UL with a 12A current rating and 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing. The part is actively produced and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for industrial control, power distribution, and signal interconnection applications. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and connector compatibility are maintained across alternative manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELVH05500 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• 5-position connector configuration with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing
• Vertical orientation with male pin header design
• 4-side shrouded housing for mechanical protection
• Brass contact material with tin mating finish
• 0.138" (4.60mm) contact tail length for PCB insertion
• 300V UL voltage rating minimum
• RoHS compliance status

The OSTOQ053250 qualifies as a substitute based on matching position count, pitch, orientation, shrouding type, contact material, contact tail length, voltage rating, and RoHS compliance. Differences in mounting methodology (solder vs. through-hole) and operating temperature range do not preclude substitution when application requirements permit alternative mounting approaches.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELVH05500 and OSTOQ053250 maintain active product status with full RoHS compliance. The ELVH05500 is specified for through-hole mounting with a 125°C maximum operating temperature and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The OSTOQ053250 operates across -30°C to 105°C with solder mounting methodology. Selection between these parts depends on application mounting requirements: through-hole PCB assembly favors the ELVH05500, while direct solder-to-board applications may utilize the OSTOQ053250. Both parts carry identical electrical ratings, contact geometry, and shrouding specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability within their respective mounting contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OSTOQ053250 replace ELVH05500 in existing designs? A: Substitution is possible only if the application permits solder mounting in place of through-hole mounting. The electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent; however, PCB assembly methodology must be compatible with the alternative mounting type.

Q: Are the connector pitch and position count identical? A: Yes. Both parts feature 5 positions with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing, ensuring mating compatibility with corresponding receptacle connectors designed for this standard.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature ranges? A: The ELVH05500 operates to 125°C maximum, while the OSTOQ053250 operates from -30°C to 105°C. Application thermal requirements determine which part is appropriate for the intended environment.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. The ELVH05500 is RoHS Compliant, and the OSTOQ053250 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current RoHS directives.

Q: What is the contact tail length, and why is it important? A: Both parts have 0.138" (4.60mm) contact tail length, which determines PCB insertion depth and solder joint formation. This dimension must match the PCB design specifications.

Q: Do both parts have the same voltage and current ratings? A: The voltage rating is identical at 300V UL for both parts. The ELVH05500 specifies 12A UL current; the OSTOQ053250 does not specify a current rating in the provided data.
