Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-282836-7 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• 16 positions per level
• 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing
• Horizontal with board mating orientation
• Through-hole mounting configuration
• Screw-based rising cage clamp termination
• 13.5 A current rating
• 300 V voltage rating
• Polyamide (PA66) housing material

Allowable Variations:

• Wire gauge range: The substitute may accommodate a different wire gauge range provided it includes the original specification range or extends it
• Screw torque specification: Variations in torque values are acceptable if the mechanical interface remains compatible
• Contact and clamp material composition: Substitutes with different base metals (copper alloy versus brass) are acceptable provided plating specifications remain equivalent
• Operating temperature range: Substitutes with defined operating temperature ranges are acceptable
• Product status and compliance certifications: Active products with RoHS compliance are preferred for new designs

The ESLM16100 from Amphenol PCD meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ESLM16100 from Amphenol PCD is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1-282836-7. Both components share identical electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, and pitch specifications.

Advantages of ESLM16100 substitution:

The ESLM16100 carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. This component is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for new designs and manufacturing processes. The extended wire gauge range (14-30 AWG versus 16-30 AWG) provides additional flexibility for wire termination applications.

Compatibility considerations:

The ESLM16100 accommodates the original 16-30 AWG wire gauge specification within its 14-30 AWG range. Contact and clamp materials differ in base metal composition (copper alloy versus brass) but maintain equivalent tin and nickel plating specifications. The screw torque specification is lower (0.5 Nm versus 0.68 Nm), reflecting design optimization in the active product. These variations do not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance in standard applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ESLM16100 be used as a direct replacement for the 1-282836-7 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch spacing (5.00mm), position count (16), mating orientation, current and voltage ratings, and termination method. The ESLM16100 is mechanically and electrically compatible with PCB layouts designed for the 1-282836-7.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge range difference?

A: The 1-282836-7 accepts 16-30 AWG wire, while the ESLM16100 accepts 14-30 AWG wire. The ESLM16100 range encompasses the original specification, providing equal or greater compatibility. Applications using 16-30 AWG wire experience no functional difference.

Q: How do the contact material differences affect performance?

A: The 1-282836-7 uses brass contacts with tin plating; the ESLM16100 uses copper alloy contacts with tin plating. Both configurations provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance through identical plating specifications. Material substitution reflects manufacturing optimization without affecting electrical performance.

Q: Why is the screw torque specification lower on the ESLM16100?

A: The ESLM16100 specifies 0.5 Nm (4.4 Lb-In) versus 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In) on the original part. This reflects design refinement in the active product. The lower torque value is sufficient for secure mechanical termination and reduces risk of over-tightening during assembly.

Q: Is the ESLM16100 suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The ESLM16100 carries active product status and RoHS compliance certification, making it appropriate for new designs. The obsolete status of the 1-282836-7 makes the ESLM16100 the recommended choice for ongoing production and new applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The 1-282836-7 packaging specification is not provided. The ESLM16100 is supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process to ensure compatibility with assembly operations.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the ESLM16100?

A: The ESLM16100 operates from -40°C to 110°C. The original 1-282836-7 does not specify an operating temperature range. The ESLM16100 range covers standard industrial and commercial temperature environments.
