TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-282815-0 Terminal Block Header Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-282815-0 is a 10 Position Terminal Block Header with male pins, shrouded on 2 sides, featuring 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and 90° right angle through-hole mounting. This component is part of the Buchanan series and maintains Active product status. Alternative equivalent parts are necessary when primary inventory is unavailable, when specific housing material requirements differ, or when shrouding configuration variations are acceptable for application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1-282815-0 terminal block header is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across equivalent parts:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 10
• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Header Orientation: 90°, Right Angle
• Termination Style: Solder
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Current - UL: 15 A
• Voltage - UL: 300 V
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Parameters Permitting Variation:

• Shrouding configuration (2-side vs. 4-side)
• Housing material (Polyamide PA66 vs. Polybutylene Terephthalate PBT)
• Contact material (Copper Alloy vs. Brass)
• Operating temperature upper limit (110°C vs. 105°C)
• Contact tail length and insulation height (mechanical envelope variations)
• Color designation

The substitute parts 0395321010 (Molex) and ELFH10210 (Amphenol PCD) satisfy all mandatory matching parameters while introducing variations in shrouding design and material composition that do not compromise electrical performance or regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three terminal block header options maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications. Selection between the 1-282815-0 and its substitutes should be based on the following engineering considerations:

1-282815-0 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors - Buchanan Series):

• Primary selection when 2-side shrouding configuration is specified
• Supports operating temperatures to 110°C
• Copper alloy contact material
• Polyamide (PA66) housing
• Green color designation

0395321010 (Molex - Eurostyle ESE 39532 Series):

• Selection when 4-side shrouding provides enhanced EMI shielding or mechanical protection
• Operating temperature to 105°C
• Brass contact material
• Polyamide (PA66) housing
• Black color designation
• Increased insulation height (0.472") accommodates specific PCB layout requirements

ELFH10210 (Amphenol PCD - ELFH Series):

• Selection when PBT housing material is required for enhanced chemical resistance or thermal stability
• Operating temperature to 105°C
• Brass contact material
• Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) housing
• Black color designation
• Compact insulation height (0.319") suitable for space-constrained applications

All three parts share identical electrical performance specifications (15 A UL current, 300 V UL voltage) and maintain equivalent solder termination and through-hole mounting characteristics. Mechanical envelope variations (contact tail length and insulation height) require PCB footprint verification during design integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-282815-0 be directly replaced with the 0395321010 or ELFH10210 without PCB redesign?

A: Direct replacement requires verification of PCB footprint compatibility. The 0395321010 features increased insulation height (0.472" vs. 0.329"), while the ELFH10210 has reduced insulation height (0.319" vs. 0.329"). Contact tail length variations (0.138" to 0.150") may also affect solder pad positioning. Mechanical envelope drawings must be compared against PCB design specifications.

Q: What is the functional difference between 2-side and 4-side shrouding?

A: The 1-282815-0 provides 2-side shrouding, while both substitute parts (0395321010 and ELFH10210) feature 4-side shrouding. Four-side shrouding offers enhanced mechanical protection and improved EMI containment. Selection depends on application requirements for shielding and mechanical robustness.

Q: Are there temperature rating differences that affect application suitability?

A: The 1-282815-0 supports -40°C to 110°C operating range, while both substitutes support -40°C to 105°C. For applications requiring sustained operation above 105°C, the 1-282815-0 is the appropriate selection. For applications within the 105°C limit, all three parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of contact material differences (Copper Alloy vs. Brass)?

A: The 1-282815-0 uses Copper Alloy contacts, while substitutes use Brass. Both materials are tin-plated and provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. Material selection does not affect electrical performance for this application category.

Q: How do housing material differences (Polyamide PA66 vs. Polybutylene Terephthalate PBT) impact component selection?

A: Polyamide (PA66) and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) are both UL94 V-0 rated and ROHS3 compliant. PBT offers superior chemical resistance and dimensional stability at elevated temperatures. Selection depends on specific environmental exposure conditions and mechanical stress requirements in the target application.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the same voltage and current specifications?

A: Yes. All three parts are rated for 15 A UL current and 300 V UL voltage. Electrical performance is equivalent across all options.

Q: What is the impact of color designation on component functionality?

A: Color designation (Green for 1-282815-0, Black for substitutes) is a visual identification feature only and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Selection based on color is a design preference or assembly identification requirement.

Q: Do all parts maintain equivalent RoHS and regulatory compliance?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and classified as EAR99 export control category with identical HTSUS code (8536.69.4040). Regulatory compliance is equivalent across all options.
