ELM083200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The ELM083200 is an 8-position wire-to-board terminal block manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for through-hole PCB mounting with angled orientation. This component operates at 300 V with a 10 A current rating and accommodates wire gauges from 12-28 AWG using screw-based rising cage clamp termination. The part is RoHS compliant and currently active in production. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with application requirements, enabling component sourcing flexibility and inventory optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM083200 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Electrical Compatibility: Voltage rating (300 V minimum), current capacity (10 A minimum), and wire gauge accommodation (12-28 AWG minimum range).

Mechanical Compatibility: 8-position configuration, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, through-hole mounting, screw-based rising cage clamp termination, and side interlocking features.

Environmental & Compliance: RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

The identified substitutes—TE Connectivity AMP Connectors parts 1546074-8 and 282847-8—meet or exceed these parameters. Both parts maintain the 8-position, 5.08mm pitch configuration with through-hole mounting and screw termination. Both support higher current ratings (17.5 A) and extended wire gauge ranges (12-30 AWG), providing enhanced capability margins. Voltage and termination method specifications remain equivalent to the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts maintain active product status and comply with current RoHS3 standards, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The TE Connectivity parts provide enhanced electrical performance with 17.5 A current capacity compared to the 10 A rating of the ELM083200, offering additional design margin for applications operating near maximum current specifications.

Part 1546074-8 offers the widest operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and is available in black housing, matching the original part's color specification. Part 282847-8 provides equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications but features green housing and does not specify a minimum operating temperature.

Housing material differs between the main part (PBT) and substitutes (PA66 nylon), which may affect mechanical properties and chemical resistance in specific environments. Screw thread specifications (M3 for substitutes versus unspecified for the main part) should be verified for assembly compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1546074-8 or 282847-8 directly replace ELM083200 in existing designs?

A: Both parts maintain equivalent pitch (5.08mm), position count (8), voltage rating (300 V), mounting type (through-hole), and termination method (screw rising cage clamp). The higher current ratings (17.5 A) and extended wire gauge ranges (12-30 AWG) provide functional compatibility. Housing material differences (PA66 versus PBT) and color variations should be evaluated for specific application requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between the two TE Connectivity substitutes?

A: Parts 1546074-8 and 282847-8 are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary differences are housing color (black versus green) and operating temperature specification (1546074-8 specifies -40°C to 105°C; 282847-8 does not specify minimum temperature).

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: All three parts are RoHS compliant. The TE Connectivity parts carry ROHS3 certification and REACH Affected status. The ELM083200 is RoHS compliant without additional REACH designation. Both substitute parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original part.

Q: How do housing material differences affect substitution?

A: The ELM083200 uses PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) housing, while substitutes use PA66 nylon. PBT offers higher rigidity and better chemical resistance in some environments. PA66 provides good mechanical properties and cost efficiency. Material selection should align with environmental exposure, mechanical stress, and chemical compatibility requirements of the application.

Q: What is the significance of the screw thread specification (M3)?

A: The TE Connectivity substitutes specify M3 screw threads, while the ELM083200 does not provide this detail. M3 is a standard metric thread size compatible with the 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) torque specification shared across all three parts. Verify screw compatibility with assembly equipment and procedures.
