Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ED200/4DS has one identified substitute: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 282842-4. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

Position count and pitch alignment: Both parts feature 4 positions with 0.394" (10.00mm) pitch, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility
Mounting configuration: Both employ through-hole mounting with horizontal board orientation
Screw thread specification: Both use M3 screw threads, maintaining mechanical interface consistency
Wire termination category: Both utilize screw-based clamping mechanisms for wire connection
Electrical performance envelope: The substitute part meets or exceeds the original part's current and voltage ratings

The 282842-4 substitute demonstrates compatibility across these core mechanical and electrical parameters, making it functionally equivalent for applications within the ED200/4DS design envelope.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ED200/4DS and 282842-4 maintain Active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The ED200/4DS carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while the 282842-4 holds RoHS compliance status. The substitute part 282842-4 provides enhanced electrical performance with higher current (17.5 A vs. 15 A) and voltage (600 V vs. 300 V) ratings, along with expanded wire gauge compatibility (12-30 AWG vs. 14-22 AWG). Both components utilize M3 screw threads and through-hole mounting, ensuring mechanical interchangeability within the same PCB footprint. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application voltage and current requirements, as well as compliance certification needs for the target end-use market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 282842-4 be used as a direct replacement for the ED200/4DS in existing designs?

A: The 282842-4 shares identical pitch (10mm), position count (4), mounting type (through-hole), and screw thread (M3) specifications with the ED200/4DS. PCB footprint compatibility is maintained. However, the wire termination mechanism differs (rising cage clamp vs. leaf spring with wire guard), and housing material composition varies (PA66 vs. PA). Verify that these mechanical differences do not conflict with your specific application requirements.

Q: What are the electrical compatibility considerations?

A: The 282842-4 exceeds the ED200/4DS in both current rating (17.5 A vs. 15 A) and voltage rating (600 V vs. 300 V). Applications designed for the ED200/4DS will operate within the 282842-4's electrical envelope. Conversely, applications requiring the full 600 V or 17.5 A capability of the 282842-4 may not be suitable for the ED200/4DS.

Q: Are there wire gauge differences that affect substitution?

A: The ED200/4DS accepts 14-22 AWG wire, while the 282842-4 accommodates 12-30 AWG. The 282842-4 supports a broader wire gauge range. Ensure that your wire gauge selection falls within both parts' specifications if substitution is planned.

Q: How do the compliance certifications compare?

A: The ED200/4DS is ROHS3 compliant, and the 282842-4 is RoHS compliant. Both meet RoHS requirements; however, ROHS3 represents a more recent certification standard. Verify that your application's compliance requirements align with the selected part's certification status.

Q: What is the difference in wire termination methods?

A: The ED200/4DS uses a screw-based leaf spring mechanism with wire guard, while the 282842-4 employs a rising cage clamp design. Both are screw-terminal technologies, but the clamping mechanism and wire retention approach differ. Evaluate whether your application's wire insertion and retention requirements are compatible with each termination style.
