ELM061100 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM061100 is a 6-position wire-to-board terminal block manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for horizontal PCB mounting with side entry configuration. This component operates at 300 V with a 10 A current rating and accepts wire gauges from 12-28 AWG. The part is currently active in production and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable wire termination on printed circuit boards.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are met, allowing for component interchangeability in design and procurement scenarios where the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ELM061100 can be substituted with TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 796682-6 based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• 6-position configuration with identical pitch spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm)
• Horizontal with board mating orientation
• 300 V voltage rating
• Through hole mounting type
• Screw-based rising cage clamp termination with identical torque specification (0.79 Nm)
• Side interlocking feature
• Black housing color
• Wire gauge compatibility within acceptable range (12-30 AWG accommodates the 12-28 AWG requirement)

The substitute part meets or exceeds the electrical and mechanical requirements of the primary part, enabling direct replacement in applications where component sourcing flexibility is needed.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM061100 and 796682-6 are active production parts with current regulatory compliance. The ELM061100 maintains RoHS compliance, while the 796682-6 meets the more stringent ROHS3 standard and is REACH affected, indicating compliance with additional European environmental regulations.

The 796682-6 provides a higher current rating (17.5 A versus 10 A) and extended wire gauge accommodation (12-30 AWG versus 12-28 AWG), making it suitable for applications requiring greater current capacity or wire size flexibility. Both parts share identical voltage ratings, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, and screw torque specifications, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in PCB layouts.

Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements specific to the end application and current capacity needs of the circuit design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 796682-6 be used as a direct replacement for the ELM061100?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch spacing (5.00mm), position count (6), voltage rating (300 V), mounting type (through hole), and termination method (screw-based rising cage clamp). The 796682-6 meets or exceeds the electrical specifications of the ELM061100.

Q: What is the difference in current rating between these parts?

A: The ELM061100 is rated for 10 A, while the 796682-6 is rated for 17.5 A. The substitute part can handle higher current loads, making it suitable for applications requiring greater current capacity.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The ELM061100 is supplied in tray packaging, while the 796682-6 is supplied in bulk packaging. Procurement and handling procedures may differ accordingly.

Q: Do both parts accept the same wire gauge range?

A: The ELM061100 accepts 12-28 AWG wire, while the 796682-6 accepts 12-30 AWG wire. The substitute part accommodates a wider range, including smaller gauge wires.

Q: What are the housing material differences?

A: The ELM061100 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), while the 796682-6 uses Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6. Both materials provide suitable electrical insulation and mechanical strength for terminal block applications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application-specific requirements. For designs requiring higher current capacity or extended wire gauge compatibility, the 796682-6 is appropriate. For designs with existing specifications matching the ELM061100, either part is suitable based on availability and regulatory compliance needs.
