Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 1-282815-2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• 12-position configuration
• 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing
• 90° right-angle orientation
• Solder termination
• Through-hole mounting
• 15 A UL current rating
• 300 V UL voltage rating
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Tin contact mating finish

Secondary Considerations:

• Operating temperature range compatibility
• Housing material composition
• Contact material specification
• Shrouding configuration (2-side vs. 4-side)
• Insulation height and contact tail length variations

The identified substitute parts (Molex 0395321012, Molex 0395326012, and Amphenol PCD ELFH12210) satisfy all primary matching criteria. Variations in shrouding design (4-side versus 2-side), housing material, and dimensional specifications represent acceptable engineering tolerances within the terminal block header category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain Active product status with full regulatory compliance. Selection between the TE Connectivity 1-282815-2 and substitute options is based on the following engineering considerations:

TE Connectivity 1-282815-2 (Buchanan Series):

• 2-side shrouding configuration
• Operating temperature range to 110°C
• Copper alloy contact material
• RoHS Compliant certification
• Polyamide (PA66) housing

Molex 0395321012 (Eurostyle ESE 39532, Black):

• 4-side shrouding configuration
• Operating temperature range to 105°C
• Brass contact material
• ROHS3 Compliant certification
• Polyamide (PA66) housing

Molex 0395326012 (Eurostyle ESE 39532, Green):

• 4-side shrouding configuration
• Operating temperature range to 105°C
• Brass contact material
• ROHS3 Compliant certification
• Polyamide (PA66) housing
• Color matching to main part (Green)

Amphenol PCD ELFH12210 (ELFH Series, Black):

• 4-side shrouding configuration
• Operating temperature range to 105°C
• Brass contact material
• ROHS3 Compliant certification
• Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) housing
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Not Applicable

All substitute parts satisfy the electrical specifications (15 A, 300 V) and mechanical requirements (12-position, 5.08mm pitch, right-angle through-hole). The Molex 0395326012 provides color compatibility with the original part. The Amphenol PCD ELFH12210 offers alternative housing material composition. Operating temperature differences reflect maximum rated specifications; actual application requirements determine practical selection criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0395321012 or 0395326012 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1-282815-2?

A: Yes. Both Molex parts satisfy all primary electrical and mechanical parameters: 12-position configuration, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, 90° right-angle orientation, solder termination, through-hole mounting, 15 A UL current rating, and 300 V UL voltage rating. The 4-side shrouding configuration on Molex parts provides additional mechanical protection compared to the 2-side shrouding on the TE Connectivity part. Operating temperature ratings differ by 5°C maximum (105°C vs. 110°C).

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

A: Shrouding refers to the protective housing surrounding the pin array. 2-side shrouding (TE Connectivity 1-282815-2) provides protection on two opposing sides. 4-side shrouding (Molex and Amphenol PCD parts) provides protection on all four sides of the pin array, offering enhanced mechanical protection and improved mating alignment during connector insertion.

Q: Why does the Molex 0395326012 appear in the substitute list when the TE Connectivity part is green?

A: The Molex 0395326012 is included as a substitute because it matches the green color of the original TE Connectivity 1-282815-2, in addition to satisfying all electrical and mechanical specifications. Color matching may be relevant for assembly identification or visual circuit board documentation purposes.

Q: Are there material differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 1-282815-2 uses Copper Alloy contacts with Polyamide (PA66) housing. The Molex parts (0395321012 and 0395326012) use Brass contacts with Polyamide (PA66) housing. The Amphenol PCD ELFH12210 uses Brass contacts with Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) housing. All materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and tin contact mating finishes.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 Compliant versus RoHS Compliant?

A: Both certifications indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents the current version of the RoHS directive. All parts listed are compliant with hazardous substance restrictions applicable to their respective manufacturing dates and regulatory jurisdictions.

Q: Can the Amphenol PCD ELFH12210 be used in applications requiring the full 110°C operating temperature?

A: The Amphenol PCD ELFH12210 is rated to 105°C maximum operating temperature, which is 5°C lower than the TE Connectivity 1-282815-2 (110°C). Applications requiring sustained operation at temperatures between 105°C and 110°C require the TE Connectivity part or equivalent parts with matching 110°C ratings.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) indicate?

A: MSL indicates the component's sensitivity to moisture absorption during storage and handling. The TE Connectivity 1-282815-2 and Molex parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating minimal moisture sensitivity with no special storage requirements. The Amphenol PCD ELFH12210 carries MSL Not Applicable, indicating the component is not subject to moisture sensitivity classifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in equivalent packaging quantities?

A: Packaging differs between parts. The TE Connectivity 1-282815-2 is supplied in Tube packaging. The Molex 0395321012, Molex 0395326012, and Amphenol PCD ELFH12210 are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it reflects supplier distribution methods.
