Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ED800/3 has one identified equivalent substitute: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 282858-3 (Buchanan series). Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Positions Per Level: Must equal 3
• Pitch: Must equal 0.394" (10.00mm)
• Mating Orientation: Must be Horizontal with Board
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Screw Thread: Must be M3
• Wire Termination: Must use Screw mechanism

The 282858-3 meets all mandatory substitution criteria. Additional parameters such as current rating, voltage rating, and wire gauge range exceed the ED800/3 specifications, providing enhanced capability for applications requiring higher electrical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ED800/3 and 282858-3 are Active product status components with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. The 282858-3 provides higher electrical performance specifications (24 A current, 600 V voltage) compared to the ED800/3 (15 A current, 250 V voltage), making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced electrical capacity. The 282858-3 features a rising cage clamp wire termination mechanism and interlocking side entry design, which may provide improved wire retention characteristics. Both components share identical pitch, position count, mounting type, and M3 screw thread specifications, ensuring mechanical compatibility in PCB layouts. Selection between these parts should be based on application voltage and current requirements, as well as wire gauge compatibility with the connected conductors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 282858-3 be used as a direct replacement for the ED800/3?

A: The 282858-3 is mechanically and electrically compatible as a substitute. Both components share identical pitch (10.00mm), position count (3), mounting type (Through Hole), and M3 screw thread. The 282858-3 exceeds the ED800/3 electrical specifications and is suitable for applications within the ED800/3 operating parameters.

Q: What are the key differences between these two terminal blocks?

A: The primary differences are current rating (ED800/3: 15 A vs. 282858-3: 24 A), voltage rating (ED800/3: 250 V vs. 282858-3: 600 V), wire gauge range (ED800/3: 14-22 AWG vs. 282858-3: 12-30 AWG), and wire termination mechanism (ED800/3: standard screw vs. 282858-3: rising cage clamp). The 282858-3 also features interlocking side entry and enhanced plating specifications.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB layout?

A: No. Both components maintain identical pitch and mounting specifications, allowing direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the ED800/3 and 282858-3 are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), and share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.90.4000).

Q: Which part should be selected for higher voltage applications?

A: The 282858-3 is rated for 600 V, compared to the ED800/3 at 250 V. For applications exceeding 250 V, the 282858-3 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with each part?

A: The ED800/3 accepts 14-22 AWG wire. The 282858-3 accepts 12-30 AWG wire, providing a wider range of conductor sizes.
