Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WAGO 235-402 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Current rating of 10 A minimum
• Voltage rating of 300 V minimum
• Wire gauge accommodation of 14-20 AWG

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• 2 positions per level configuration
• Pitch spacing within acceptable tolerance (0.197" to 0.200")
• Horizontal with board mating orientation
• Through-hole mounting type

Termination & Material Requirements:

• Screwless push-in or push-button clamp termination technology
• Polyamide or nylon housing material
• Copper or electrolytic copper contact material

Compliance Requirements:

• ROHS3 compliance certification
• Active product status
• Operating temperature range supporting -30°C minimum to 105°C maximum

The substitute part ED4101/2-KD from On Shore Technology Inc. meets all critical electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters, with pitch tolerance of 0.197" (5.00mm) and equivalent current/voltage ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

WAGO 235-402 Selection Criteria: The WAGO 235-402 is the primary component choice when the extended operating temperature range of -60°C to 105°C is required. This part maintains Active product status with established supply chain availability (1087 pcs in stock) and ROHS3 compliance certification. The leg spring and push-in spring termination design provides dual termination methodology. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring the full temperature specification.

On Shore ED4101/2-KD Selection Criteria: The ED4101/2-KD serves as a functional substitute when operating temperature requirements fall within the -30°C to 105°C range. This part maintains Active product status with higher inventory availability (3542 pcs in stock) and ROHS3 compliance certification. The push-button clamp termination provides screwless connection technology compatible with the original design. The 0.197" pitch tolerance (5.00mm) accommodates standard PCB layout spacing. Selection is appropriate for applications where the reduced low-temperature specification is acceptable and component availability is prioritized.

Compliance Verification: Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) classification. Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.90.4000 for export control and tariff purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the On Shore ED4101/2-KD replace the WAGO 235-402 in all applications?

A: The ED4101/2-KD is a functional substitute provided the application operating temperature does not require operation below -30°C. The WAGO 235-402 supports -60°C minimum temperature, while the ED4101/2-KD supports -30°C minimum. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent or compatible.

Q: What is the pitch tolerance difference between these parts?

A: The WAGO 235-402 specifies 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, while the ED4101/2-KD specifies 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch. This 0.03mm difference is within standard PCB manufacturing tolerances and does not affect mechanical compatibility or electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: Are the termination methods interchangeable?

A: Both parts utilize screwless push-in termination technology. The WAGO 235-402 employs leg spring and push-in spring methods, while the ED4101/2-KD employs push-button clamp technology. Both methods provide tool-free wire insertion and secure electrical connection without requiring screwdriver operation.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The WAGO 235-402 has 1087 pcs new original in stock. The ED4101/2-KD has 3542 pcs new original in stock. Both parts are classified as Active product status with established manufacturing support.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the WAGO 235-402 and On Shore ED4101/2-KD are ROHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: What wire gauge range is supported by both parts?

A: Both parts accommodate wire gauges 14-20 AWG with identical current and voltage ratings of 10 A at 300 V, ensuring equivalent electrical performance across the supported wire gauge range.
