Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of terminal block headers is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: number of positions, pitch spacing, header orientation, mounting type, voltage rating, current rating, and material flammability classification. All substitute parts listed maintain the 5-position configuration with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and vertical orientation required for direct functional replacement.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on shrouding configuration:

Category 1: 2-Side Shrouded (Direct Mechanical Equivalents) Parts with 2-side shrouding maintain identical mechanical envelope and mounting footprint to the primary part.

Category 2: 4-Side Shrouded (Functional Equivalents with Enhanced Shielding) Parts with 4-side shrouding provide additional mechanical protection and environmental isolation while maintaining electrical compatibility and pitch spacing.

All substitute parts meet or exceed the 300 V UL voltage requirement and 15 A UL current requirement. All substitute parts are RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant and carry MSL 1 rating. All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating or equivalent compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (2-Side Shrouded Configuration)

The Phoenix Contact 1758047 and Adam Tech EBPA-05-D maintain identical 2-side shrouding configuration to the primary part 282825-5. Both parts are Active status products with full RoHS compliance. The Phoenix Contact 1758047 carries ROHS3 Compliant status and REACH Unaffected designation. The Adam Tech EBPA-05-D carries ROHS3 Compliant status and REACH Unaffected designation. Both parts meet the 300 V UL voltage requirement and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The Phoenix Contact 1758047 specifies 12 A UL current rating, which is lower than the primary part's 15 A rating. The Adam Tech EBPA-05-D specifies 15 A UL current rating, matching the primary part exactly.

Secondary Substitutes (4-Side Shrouded Configuration)

The On Shore Technology EDSTLZ955/5 and Amphenol PCD ELFH05250 provide 4-side shrouding with identical 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and vertical orientation. Both parts are Active status products with ROHS3 Compliant status and REACH Unaffected designation. The EDSTLZ955/5 maintains 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch matching the primary part exactly. The ELFH05250 maintains 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and specifies 15 A UL current rating matching the primary part. Both parts meet the 300 V UL voltage requirement.

Marginal Substitute (Pitch Deviation)

The On Shore Technology EDSTL955/5 specifies 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, which deviates from the primary part's 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch specification. This part is listed as a substitute but introduces a pitch tolerance consideration that may affect mechanical compatibility in applications with tight spacing constraints.

Selection Criteria

For applications requiring exact mechanical envelope preservation, select from 2-side shrouded parts: Adam Tech EBPA-05-D (15 A rating match) or Phoenix Contact 1758047 (12 A rating, lower current capacity). For applications permitting enhanced environmental protection through 4-side shrouding, select Amphenol PCD ELFH05250 (15 A rating match, through-hole mounting) or On Shore Technology EDSTLZ955/5 (4-side shrouding, solder mounting). All recommended substitutes carry Active product status and current compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1758047 replace the TE Connectivity 282825-5 in all applications?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1758047 is mechanically and electrically compatible with identical pitch, position count, voltage rating, and shrouding configuration. However, the 1758047 specifies 12 A UL current rating compared to the primary part's 15 A rating. Selection depends on application current requirements. If the application requires 15 A capacity, the 1758047 is not suitable. If the application operates at 12 A or below, the 1758047 is a direct substitute.

Q: What is the difference between 2-side and 4-side shrouded terminal blocks?

A: Shrouding refers to the protective housing surrounding the terminal block. 2-side shrouding provides protection on two opposing sides, while 4-side shrouding provides protection on all four sides. 4-side shrouding offers enhanced environmental isolation and mechanical protection. Both configurations maintain identical electrical performance and pitch spacing. Selection depends on mechanical space constraints and environmental protection requirements.

Q: Is the On Shore Technology EDSTL955/5 compatible with the TE Connectivity 282825-5?

A: The EDSTL955/5 specifies 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch compared to the primary part's 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch. This 0.03mm deviation may affect mechanical compatibility in applications with tight spacing constraints or where multiple terminal blocks are mounted in close proximity. Verify pitch tolerance compatibility before selection.

Q: Can I use the Amphenol PCD ELFH05250 as a direct replacement?

A: The Amphenol PCD ELFH05250 is electrically compatible with 300 V UL voltage rating, 15 A UL current rating, and identical 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch. The primary difference is 4-side shrouding compared to the primary part's 2-side shrouding. This provides enhanced environmental protection but increases the mechanical envelope. Verify available mounting space before selection.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The primary part 282825-5 carries RoHS Compliant status. All substitute parts carry either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant status, confirming compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. The Amphenol PCD ELFH05250 carries MSL Not Applicable rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity requirements.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. All substitute parts except the Amphenol PCD ELFH05250 carry MSL 1 rating. The ELFH05250 carries MSL Not Applicable, indicating no moisture sensitivity classification is required for this component type.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same assembly?

A: Yes, all substitute parts meet identical electrical specifications (300 V UL, 15 A UL or higher, UL94 V-0 flammability). However, mixing 2-side and 4-side shrouded parts in the same assembly may create visual inconsistency and mechanical envelope variations. For consistency, select all terminal blocks from the same shrouding category within a single assembly.

Q: What mounting type differences exist among the substitutes?

A: The primary part 282825-5 and most substitutes (Phoenix Contact 1758047, Adam Tech EBPA-05-D, Amphenol PCD ELFH05250) specify through-hole mounting with solder termination. The On Shore Technology parts (EDSTL955/5 and EDSTLZ955/5) specify solder mounting without through-hole designation. Verify PCB design compatibility with the selected mounting type before component selection.
