ELFT06150 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELFT06150 is a 6-position terminal block plug manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for applications requiring screw-based wire termination with 90° free-hanging (in-line) mounting. This component features female sockets with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing and is rated for 15 A at 300 V per UL standards. The part is currently active in production with 1083 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance can be maintained across the specified parameter range.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 284046-6 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Buchanan series) qualifies as an equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain 15 A current rating and 300 V voltage rating per UL standards
Mechanical Compatibility: Identical 6-position configuration with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing and 90° wire entry orientation
Termination Method: Both utilize screw-based rising cage clamp termination
Mounting Configuration: Both are free-hanging (in-line) designs
Regulatory Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant and UL94 V-0 rated
Contact Finish: Both feature tin-plated mating surfaces
Wire Retention: Both include retention latches on the wire side

Differences in housing material (PPO vs. PA66), contact material (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze), operating temperature range, and wire gauge specifications do not prevent functional substitution within the defined electrical and mechanical parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELFT06150 and 284046-6 are active production components with full RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 material certification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability: ELFT06150 has 1083 units in stock; 284046-6 has 879 units in stock
Packaging Format: ELFT06150 is supplied in trays; 284046-6 is supplied in bulk
Wire Gauge Compatibility: ELFT06150 supports 12 AWG and 14-26 AWG; 284046-6 supports 12-30 AWG and 0.05-3mm²
Operating Temperature Range: ELFT06150 operates to 105°C; 284046-6 operates from -40°C to 110°C
Housing Material: ELFT06150 uses PPO; 284046-6 uses PA66 (Nylon 6/6)

Both parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution in applications requiring 6-position, 5mm-pitch terminal block plugs with screw termination and 90° wire entry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 284046-6 be used as a direct replacement for ELFT06150?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (15 A, 300 V), mechanical configuration (6 positions, 5mm pitch, 90° entry), termination method (screw-based rising cage clamp), and regulatory compliance (RoHS, UL94 V-0). The parts are functionally equivalent for applications within these specified parameters.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are housing material (PPO vs. PA66), contact material (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze), operating temperature range (105°C vs. -40°C to 110°C), wire gauge support (12 AWG, 14-26 AWG vs. 12-30 AWG), and packaging format (tray vs. bulk). These differences do not affect substitutability for standard applications.

Q: Are there wire gauge compatibility concerns?

A: The ELFT06150 supports 12 AWG and 14-26 AWG. The 284046-6 supports 12-30 AWG and 0.05-3mm². Both parts accommodate the common wire gauge range. Verify specific wire gauge requirements for your application.

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

A: Both parts specify 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) screw torque. This value must be observed during wire termination to ensure proper contact pressure and electrical performance.

Q: Do both parts include wire retention features?

A: Yes. Both the ELFT06150 and 284046-6 include retention latches on the wire side to secure wire connections during installation and operation.

Q: What is the pitch spacing, and is it the same for both parts?

A: Both parts feature 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing between positions. This identical spacing ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility.
