Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts (1546074-4 and 282847-4) maintain Active product status and meet or exceed the electrical and mechanical specifications of the ELM043200. Selection between the main part and substitutes is determined by the following factors:

Compliance Considerations:

ELM043200: RoHS Compliant
1546074-4: ROHS3 Compliant with REACH Affected status
282847-4: ROHS3 Compliant with Vendor Undefined REACH status

Current Capacity: Substitute parts provide 17.5 A rating compared to the main part's 10 A rating, allowing use in applications with higher current demands within the same form factor.

Wire Gauge Accommodation: Substitute parts accept 12-30 AWG wire, extending compatibility to 30 AWG compared to the main part's 12-28 AWG specification.

Housing Material: The main part uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), while substitutes use Polyamide (PA66). Material selection depends on thermal and chemical resistance requirements specific to the application environment.

Color Coding: 1546074-4 maintains black housing consistent with the main part. 282847-4 uses green housing, which may be relevant for circuit identification or application-specific color standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1546074-4 or 282847-4 be used as direct replacements for ELM043200?

A: Yes, both parts meet the mandatory substitution criteria: 4 positions, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, 300 V rating, through-hole mounting, and screw-cage clamp termination. The 35° mating angle is functionally equivalent to the angled configuration of the main part.

Q: What is the difference between 1546074-4 and 282847-4?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary difference is housing color: 1546074-4 is black, and 282847-4 is green. Operating temperature specification is provided for 1546074-4 (-40°C ~ 105°C) but not specified for 282847-4.

Q: Are the substitute parts compatible with the same PCB footprint as ELM043200?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts share identical pitch (0.200" / 5.08mm), position count (4), and through-hole mounting type, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Do the substitute parts support the same wire gauge range?

A: The substitute parts support an extended range of 12-30 AWG compared to the main part's 12-28 AWG. This means 30 AWG wire can be accommodated by substitutes but not by the main part.

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

A: The substitute parts are rated for 17.5 A compared to the main part's 10 A. This allows their use in higher-current applications while maintaining the same physical form factor and pitch spacing.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The main part is RoHS Compliant. Both substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant. Additionally, 1546074-4 is marked as REACH Affected, while 282847-4 has Vendor Undefined REACH status. Compliance requirements should be verified against specific application and regional regulations.

Q: Can housing material differences affect performance?

A: The main part uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), while substitutes use Polyamide (PA66). Material selection depends on thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical property requirements of the specific application environment.
