Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 284046-8 qualifies as a functional substitute for the ELFT08150 based on the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical current (15 A UL) and voltage (300 V UL) ratings, ensuring equivalent power handling capacity.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both feature 8 positions with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing, 90° wire entry orientation, and free-hanging in-line mounting configuration.
• Termination Method: Both utilize screw-type rising cage clamp termination with identical torque specification (0.79 Nm / 7.0 Lb-In).
• Contact Finish: Both employ tin contact mating finish for corrosion resistance and solderability.
• Safety Certification: Both achieve UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and RoHS compliance.
• Connector Type: Both are plug connectors with female sockets.

Substitution is valid when application requirements do not impose constraints on housing material composition, operating temperature range, wire gauge specifications, or packaging format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELFT08150 and 284046-8 maintain active production status with full RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, qualifying both for equivalent use in applications requiring 8-position, 5.00mm pitch terminal block plugs with 90° wire entry and screw termination.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Wire Gauge Compatibility: The 284046-8 accepts 12-30 AWG wire range, while the ELFT08150 specifies 12 AWG and 14-26 AWG. Verify wire gauge requirements for your application.
• Housing Material: ELFT08150 uses Polyphenylene Oxide (PPO); 284046-8 uses Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6. Material selection depends on chemical exposure and mechanical stress requirements.
• Operating Temperature Range: ELFT08150 operates to 105°C; 284046-8 operates -40°C to 110°C. Select based on thermal environment specifications.
• Contact Material: ELFT08150 uses Copper Alloy; 284046-8 uses Phosphor Bronze. Both provide adequate conductivity and corrosion resistance.
• Packaging Format: ELFT08150 ships in trays; 284046-8 ships in bulk. Procurement and handling procedures may differ.
• Availability: Verify current inventory status with suppliers, as stock levels fluctuate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 284046-8 directly replace the ELFT08150 in existing designs?

A: Direct mechanical and electrical substitution is valid when application constraints do not restrict housing material (PPO vs. PA66), operating temperature range (105°C vs. -40°C to 110°C), or wire gauge specifications (14-26 AWG vs. 12-30 AWG). Verify these parameters against your design requirements before implementation.

Q: Are there differences in screw torque specifications between these parts?

A: No. Both parts specify identical screw torque of 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In), ensuring consistent installation procedures and contact pressure.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact materials?

A: ELFT08150 uses Copper Alloy contacts; 284046-8 uses Phosphor Bronze contacts. Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for the specified 15 A / 300 V application. Material selection does not affect electrical performance within rated parameters.

Q: How do wire gauge ranges differ between these parts?

A: ELFT08150 accepts 12 AWG and 14-26 AWG; 284046-8 accepts 12-30 AWG. The 284046-8 provides broader compatibility with smaller gauge wires (27-30 AWG). Confirm your wire gauge falls within the acceptable range for your selected part.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: ELFT08150 operates to 105°C maximum; 284046-8 operates to 110°C maximum. For applications approaching or exceeding 105°C, the 284046-8 provides marginally extended thermal capability. For applications below 105°C, both parts are equivalent.

Q: What packaging considerations should I account for?

A: ELFT08150 is supplied in trays; 284046-8 is supplied in bulk. Packaging format may affect handling, storage, and procurement workflows. Confirm packaging compatibility with your assembly and inventory management processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS compliant, achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating, carry unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.
