Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1-282836-6 with the Amphenol PCD ESLM15100 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both components share identical specifications for the following critical parameters:

• 15 positions per level
• 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing
• Horizontal with board mating orientation
• 13.5 A current rating
• 300 V voltage rating
• Through hole mounting type
• Screw-rising cage clamp wire termination
• Polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 housing material
• Side interlocking features

The substitute part accommodates wire gauges of 14-30 AWG, which encompasses the original specification of 16-30 AWG. Both components are classified within the same terminal block category and share identical HTSUS and ECCN codes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol PCD ESLM15100 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete TE Connectivity 1-282836-6. Selection of the substitute component is supported by the following engineering considerations:

Product Status: The original TE Connectivity part is classified as obsolete, whereas the Amphenol PCD ESLM15100 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and availability.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: Both components meet identical electrical specifications (13.5 A, 300 V) and mechanical requirements (15 positions, 5.00mm pitch, through hole mounting, screw-rising cage clamp termination). The substitute accommodates a broader wire gauge range (14-30 AWG versus 16-30 AWG), providing enhanced flexibility for wire selection.

Compliance and Certifications: The Amphenol PCD ESLM15100 is RoHS Compliant, whereas the original part lists RoHS status as not applicable. Both components share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Material Specifications: Contact and clamp materials differ in base composition (copper alloy versus brass) but maintain equivalent tin and nickel plating specifications. Both configurations provide suitable electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for the specified application.

Operating Temperature: The substitute component specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 110°C, whereas the original part does not provide this specification. This additional thermal specification supports broader application deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol PCD ESLM15100 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1-282836-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch spacing (5.00mm), position count (15), mating orientation (horizontal with board), current and voltage ratings (13.5 A, 300 V), mounting type (through hole), and wire termination method (screw-rising cage clamp). PCB footprints and mechanical mounting interfaces are compatible.

Q: What is the difference in wire gauge accommodation between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-282836-6 accommodates 16-30 AWG wire, while the Amphenol PCD ESLM15100 accommodates 14-30 AWG wire. The substitute part accepts a broader range, including smaller gauge wires (14-15 AWG) not supported by the original component.

Q: Are there differences in screw torque specifications?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity part specifies 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In) screw torque, while the Amphenol PCD part specifies 0.5 Nm (4.4 Lb-In). Assembly procedures must reflect the appropriate torque value for each component to ensure proper clamp force and electrical contact.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS Compliance difference?

A: The Amphenol PCD ESLM15100 is RoHS Compliant, meeting restrictions on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The original TE Connectivity part lists RoHS status as not applicable. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the substitute component provides regulatory compliance.

Q: Do the different contact materials affect electrical performance?

A: Both components utilize tin-plated contacts with equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance characteristics. The TE Connectivity part uses brass-based contacts, while the Amphenol PCD part uses copper alloy-based contacts. Both configurations meet the specified 13.5 A current rating and 300 V voltage rating.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these components?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-282836-6 packaging specification is not provided. The Amphenol PCD ESLM15100 is supplied in tray packaging. Procurement and handling procedures should reflect the appropriate packaging format for each component.

Q: Is the operating temperature specification important for substitution?

A: The Amphenol PCD ESLM15100 specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 110°C. The original TE Connectivity part does not provide this specification. For applications requiring defined thermal performance, the substitute component's specified temperature range supports design validation and environmental compliance.
