TE Connectivity 282832-8 Terminal Block Header Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 282832-8 is an 8-position terminal block header with male pins, unshrouded design, and 0.197" (5.00mm) vertical pitch. This component is classified as an active product and serves as a connector interface for through-hole PCB applications requiring solder termination. The part is manufactured in the Buchanan series with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operates across -40°C to 110°C temperature range. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number becomes unavailable or when inventory constraints require component substitution within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 282832-8 terminal block header are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The substitution logic is structured into two categories:

Direct Equivalent (TE Connectivity 1546931-8): This part maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters including 8-position count, 5.00mm pitch, vertical orientation, solder termination, through-hole mounting, 12 A UL current rating, 300 V UL voltage rating, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, contact tail length of 0.138" (3.50mm), and insulation height of 0.079" (2.00mm). The only variance is housing color (black versus green) and RoHS compliance generation (ROHS3 versus RoHS Compliant). This part is functionally interchangeable for all circuit design and PCB layout purposes.

Similar Equivalent (Phoenix Contact 1933244): This part maintains the same 8-position count, 5.00mm pitch, vertical orientation, solder termination, through-hole mounting, contact tail length, and insulation height. Electrical ratings differ with IEC current rating of 12 A and IEC voltage rating of 400 V, alongside UL ratings of 16 A and 300 V respectively. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating and polyamide housing material are preserved. This part is suitable for applications where IEC compliance or higher UL current capacity is required.

Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following critical parameters: number of positions (8), pitch (5.00mm), header orientation (vertical), type (male pins, unshrouded), termination style (solder), mounting type (through hole), and physical dimensions (contact tail length and insulation height).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 1546931-8 is the primary direct equivalent for the 282832-8. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the Buchanan series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 1546931-8 carries ROHS3 compliance status, representing a more recent RoHS generation compared to the base RoHS Compliant designation of the 282832-8. Both parts are active products with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) and REACH compliance status. Selection of the 1546931-8 is appropriate for applications requiring direct form-fit-function replacement with no design modifications.

Phoenix Contact 1933244 serves as a similar equivalent suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable. This part maintains all critical mechanical parameters and UL voltage rating (300 V) while offering enhanced UL current capacity (16 A versus 12 A) and IEC compliance ratings (12 A at 400 V). The COMBICON PST series housing material is specified as polyamide (PA) and nylon without the specific PA66/Nylon 6/6 designation. The 1933244 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection of the 1933244 is appropriate for applications requiring higher current capacity or IEC compliance certification.

All three parts maintain active product status, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, tin contact mating finish, and identical physical dimensions for PCB footprint compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1546931-8 be used as a direct replacement for the 282832-8?

A: Yes. The 1546931-8 maintains identical electrical ratings (12 A UL, 300 V UL), mechanical dimensions (8 positions, 5.00mm pitch, vertical orientation), termination style (solder), and mounting type (through hole).
