ELM059200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM059200 is a 5-position wire-to-board terminal block manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for vertical PCB mounting with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing. This component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in applications where the core functional requirements remain constant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM059200 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Positions Per Level: Must equal 5
• Pitch: Must equal 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Mating Orientation: Must be Vertical with Board
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Wire Termination: Must be Screw - Rising Cage Clamp
• Voltage Rating: Must equal or exceed 300 V
• Features: Must include Interlocking (Side)
• RoHS Status: Must be RoHS Compliant

The substitute part 282851-5 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Buchanan series) meets all critical substitution criteria. Variations in current rating (17.5 A vs. 10 A), wire gauge range (12-30 AWG vs. 12-28 AWG), housing material (Polyamide PA66 vs. Polybutylene Terephthalate PBT), and color do not preclude substitution when the application requirements fall within the substitute's electrical and mechanical envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ELM059200 (Amphenol PCD) maintains Active product status with full RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating. The substitute part 282851-5 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Buchanan series) is also Active with RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, with the addition of REACH Affected status.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability and lead time requirements
• Packaging format preference (Tray for ELM059200 vs. Bulk for 282851-5)
• Housing material specification (PBT vs. PA66 Nylon 6/6)
• Operating temperature requirements (105°C specified for ELM059200; not specified for 282851-5)
• Supply chain and procurement agreements

Both parts satisfy the core electrical and mechanical requirements for 5-position, 5.08mm pitch, through-hole terminal block applications with screw-cage clamp termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 282851-5 be used as a direct replacement for ELM059200?

A: Yes, when application requirements fall within the electrical and mechanical envelope of both parts. The substitute meets all critical parameters: 5 positions, 5.08mm pitch, vertical board mounting, through-hole installation, screw-cage clamp termination, 300V voltage rating, and side interlocking features. The higher current rating (17.5 A vs. 10 A) and extended wire gauge range (12-30 AWG vs. 12-28 AWG) of the substitute do not prevent substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: Primary differences include housing material (PBT vs. PA66 Nylon 6/6), color (Black vs. Green), current rating (10 A vs. 17.5 A), wire gauge range (12-28 AWG vs. 12-30 AWG), packaging format (Tray vs. Bulk), and operating temperature specification (105°C specified for ELM059200 only). All critical functional parameters remain equivalent.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution eligibility?

A: Packaging format (Tray vs. Bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on procurement requirements, inventory management practices, and handling procedures specific to the application environment.

Q: Are there compliance considerations for substitution?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant with MSL Level 1 rating. The substitute part carries additional REACH Affected status. Compliance verification should be performed against specific application and regional requirements before final selection.

Q: What is the impact of housing material differences?

A: ELM059200 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) while 282851-5 uses Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6. Material selection may affect mechanical properties, temperature performance, and chemical resistance. Operating temperature is specified as 105°C for ELM059200 and not specified for 282851-5. Application-specific environmental conditions should be evaluated.
