Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM023200 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Core Compatibility Criteria:

• 2 positions per level configuration
• 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing
• Through-hole PCB mounting
• Screw-based wire termination with rising cage clamp mechanism
• Voltage rating of 300 V or greater
• Wire gauge acceptance range that includes 12-28 AWG
• Interlocking side features for mechanical stability

Identified Substitutes:

• 1546074-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Buchanan Series)
• 282847-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Buchanan Series)

Both substitute parts meet the core compatibility criteria. Differences in mating orientation (35° angle versus angled configuration), current rating (17.5 A versus 10 A), housing material (Polyamide PA66 versus PBT), and color do not prevent functional substitution when circuit design and PCB layout accommodate the specified orientation and mechanical form factor.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1546074-2 Selection Criteria:

• Active product status with ROHS3 compliance
• Extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) provides broader environmental tolerance
• Higher current rating (17.5 A) supports applications requiring increased power capacity
• Wider wire gauge acceptance (12-30 AWG) accommodates extended conductor sizes
• Bulk packaging available with 2407 units in stock

282847-2 Selection Criteria:

• Active product status with ROHS3 compliance
• Highest inventory availability (33173 units in stock)
• Identical electrical and mechanical specifications to 1546074-2
• Green housing color distinguishes from original black specification
• Bulk packaging configuration

Compliance Considerations: All three parts maintain RoHS compliance status. Substitute parts 1546074-2 and 282847-2 carry ROHS3 designation, indicating compliance with the most current RoHS directive requirements. Moisture sensitivity level remains constant at MSL 1 (Unlimited) across all variants, eliminating moisture-related handling constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1546074-2 or 282847-2 directly replace ELM023200 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible when PCB layout and circuit design accommodate the 35° mating orientation specified for the substitute parts. The original ELM023200 uses an angled configuration, while substitutes employ a 35° (145°) angle with board orientation. Mechanical clearance and wire routing must be verified against the specific board layout.

Q: What is the significance of the higher current rating (17.5 A) in substitute parts?

A: The substitute parts are rated for 17.5 A compared to the original 10 A rating. This higher rating does not affect compatibility; it indicates the substitute can safely handle greater current loads. Applications limited to 10 A operation remain fully compatible.

Q: Are there differences in wire gauge compatibility?

A: The original ELM023200 accepts 12-28 AWG wire. Substitute parts 1546074-2 and 282847-2 accept 12-30 AWG wire, providing compatibility with larger conductor sizes (29-30 AWG). Existing designs using 12-28 AWG wire remain fully compatible with substitutes.

Q: How do housing material differences affect performance?

A: ELM023200 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) housing, while substitutes use Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6. Both materials provide adequate electrical insulation and mechanical strength for the specified voltage (300 V) and temperature ratings. Material selection does not impact electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: What is the difference between 1546074-2 and 282847-2?

A: Both parts are functionally identical with matching electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differences are housing color (1546074-2 is black; 282847-2 is green) and inventory availability (282847-2 has significantly higher stock levels at 33173 units).

Q: Does the extended temperature range of 1546074-2 (-40°C to 105°C) provide an advantage?

A: The extended lower temperature limit (-40°C) is beneficial for applications operating in cold environments. The original ELM023200 specifies only 105°C maximum without a defined minimum. For applications within standard industrial temperature ranges, this difference is not critical.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. ELM023200 is RoHS Compliant. Substitute parts 1546074-2 and 282847-2 are ROHS3 Compliant, indicating compliance with the most current RoHS directive. Both compliance levels are acceptable for RoHS-regulated applications.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: ELM023200 is supplied in Tray packaging (782 units in stock). Substitute parts 1546074-2 and 282847-2 are supplied in Bulk packaging (2407 and 33173 units respectively). Packaging format does not affect component performance or compatibility.
