Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2-282836-2 is determined by strict alignment with the following core electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• 21 positions per level
• 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing
• Horizontal with board mating orientation
• Through-hole mounting configuration
• Screw-driven rising cage clamp termination method
• 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 screw thread type remains compatible
• Contact and clamp material composition: Substitutes may use alternative plating materials while maintaining electrical performance
• Operating temperature range: Substitutes with defined operating temperature ranges are acceptable
• Color: Housing color variations do not affect functional substitution
• RoHS and compliance status: Active, compliant parts are preferred over obsolete parts

The Amphenol PCD ESLM21100 meets all critical matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol PCD ESLM21100 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-282836-2. Selection of the ESLM21100 is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The ESLM21100 maintains Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The 2-282836-2 is classified as Obsolete, creating supply chain risk and limiting long-term sourcing options.

Compliance and Certifications: The ESLM21100 is RoHS Compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in restricted substance management. The 2-282836-2 carries a Not Applicable RoHS status, reflecting its legacy classification.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: Both components share identical electrical ratings (13.5 A, 300 V), pitch spacing (5.00mm), position count (21), and termination methodology (screw-driven rising cage clamp). The ESLM21100 extends wire gauge compatibility to 14 AWG, providing broader application flexibility while maintaining full compatibility with the original 16-30 AWG specification.

Physical Integration: Both components utilize identical through-hole mounting configuration and Polyamide (PA66) housing material, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility and mechanical fit without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ESLM21100 be used as a direct replacement for the 2-282836-2 without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch spacing (5.00mm), position count (21), mounting type (through-hole), and mating orientation (horizontal with board). PCB footprints are compatible without modification.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge difference between 16-30 AWG and 14-30 AWG?

A: The ESLM21100 accommodates a broader wire gauge range by including 14 AWG and 15 AWG wire sizes. Applications using 16-30 AWG wire remain fully compatible. The extended range provides design flexibility for future applications without component substitution.

Q: Are the screw torque specifications interchangeable?

A: The 2-282836-2 specifies 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In) torque with M3 screw thread. The ESLM21100 specifies 0.5 Nm (4.4 Lb-In) torque with screw thread not specified in available data. Both components use screw-driven rising cage clamp termination. Assembly procedures should reference the specific component datasheet for torque application.

Q: Does the color difference between Green (2-282836-2) and Black (ESLM21100) affect electrical performance?

A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic specification and does not affect electrical performance, current rating, voltage rating, or mechanical function. Color selection is typically driven by application identification or customer preference.

Q: What is the inventory status for each component?

A: The 2-282836-2 has 926 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The ESLM21100 has 718 pieces in stock as new original inventory. Both are available for immediate procurement.

Q: Is the ESLM21100 suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The ESLM21100 is RoHS Compliant. Applications subject to RoHS requirements should specify the ESLM21100 to ensure regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each component?

A: The 2-282836-2 does not specify an operating temperature range in available data. The ESLM21100 specifies -40°C to 110°C operating temperature range, providing defined thermal performance boundaries for design verification.
