Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELFT02260 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (15 A UL), voltage rating (300 V UL), and contact mating finish (tin) must match exactly
• Mechanical Compatibility: Number of positions (2), pitch (5.08mm), plug wire entry angle (270°), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and termination style (screw rising cage clamp) must be identical
• Safety & Compliance: Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0) and screw torque specification (0.79 Nm) must be maintained
• Wire Gauge Acceptance: Substitute parts must accept the specified wire gauge range or broader compatible range

The identified substitute part 1546105-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Buchanan series) meets all critical substitution criteria while maintaining functional equivalence in terminal block applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELFT02260 and 1546105-2 maintain active product status and meet identical electrical and mechanical requirements for 2-position, 5.08mm pitch terminal block plug applications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory Availability: ELFT02260 has 981 units in stock; 1546105-2 has 1185 units in stock
• Packaging Format: ELFT02260 is supplied in trays; 1546105-2 is supplied in bulk
• Compliance Requirements: Both parts are RoHS compliant (ELFT02260 is RoHS Compliant; 1546105-2 is ROHS3 Compliant). The 1546105-2 additionally carries REACH Affected status
• Contact Material Difference: ELFT02260 uses copper alloy contacts; 1546105-2 uses phosphor bronze contacts. Both materials are suitable for the specified current and voltage ratings
• Housing Material Difference: ELFT02260 uses polyphenylene oxide (PPO); 1546105-2 uses polyamide (PA66/Nylon 6/6). Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1546105-2 be used as a direct replacement for ELFT02260?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (15 A, 300 V), mechanical configuration (2 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 270° wire entry), termination method (screw rising cage clamp), and safety certifications (UL94 V-0). The parts are functionally equivalent for terminal block plug applications.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Amphenol PCD vs. TE Connectivity), contact material (copper alloy vs. phosphor bronze), housing material (PPO vs. PA66), packaging format (tray vs. bulk), and operating temperature range (105°C fixed vs. -40°C to 110°C). All differences are within acceptable substitution parameters.

Q: Does the substitute part accept the same wire gauge range?

A: The ELFT02260 accepts 12 AWG and 14-26 AWG wire. The 1546105-2 accepts 12-30 AWG wire, which encompasses the ELFT02260 range. Both parts also accept 0.05-3mm² wire (1546105-2 specification), making them compatible for the same applications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 1546105-2 carries additional REACH Affected status. Both parts have identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1, Unlimited) and ECCN classification (EAR99).

Q: What is the screw torque specification for both parts?

A: Both the ELFT02260 and 1546105-2 require identical screw torque of 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) for proper wire termination.

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Since both parts meet identical electrical, mechanical, and safety specifications, they can be used interchangeably within the same assembly or system.
