ELM101100 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM101100 is a 10-position wire-to-board terminal block manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for horizontal PCB mounting with side entry configuration. This component operates at 300V with a 10A current rating and accommodates wire gauges from 12-28 AWG. The product is currently active and widely used in industrial control, power distribution, and signal routing applications. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications, mechanical compatibility, and mounting characteristics align with the original design requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM101100 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• 10-position configuration with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing
• Horizontal with board mating orientation
• Through-hole PCB mounting
• Screw-based rising cage clamp termination with side interlocking
• Minimum 300V voltage rating
• Minimum 10A current rating
• Wire gauge compatibility within or exceeding 12-28 AWG range
• Equivalent or superior torque specification (0.79 Nm)

The substitute part 1-796682-0 meets these criteria with enhanced current capacity (17.5A) and extended wire gauge support (12-30 AWG), while maintaining identical pitch, orientation, mounting method, and termination style.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM101100 and 1-796682-0 are active products with full regulatory compliance. The ELM101100 maintains RoHS compliance, while the 1-796682-0 meets the more stringent ROHS3 standard. Both components carry MSL Level 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, indicating equivalent export and tariff treatment.

The 1-796682-0 substitute provides enhanced electrical performance with 17.5A current capacity versus the original 10A rating, and extends wire gauge accommodation to 30 AWG. These improvements maintain backward compatibility with the ELM101100 design envelope while offering greater application flexibility. Selection between these parts should be based on specific circuit current requirements and wire gauge specifications of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-796682-0 directly replace the ELM101100 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (10), mating orientation (horizontal with board), mounting method (through-hole), and termination style (screw rising cage clamp). PCB footprints are compatible. The substitute offers equal or superior electrical ratings.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The 1-796682-0 provides higher current capacity (17.5A vs. 10A) and extended wire gauge range (12-30 AWG vs. 12-28 AWG). Housing material differs (Polyamide PA66 vs. Polybutylene Terephthalate PBT). The substitute meets ROHS3 compliance versus RoHS compliance on the original.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching between these parts?

A: The ELM101100 is supplied in tray packaging, while the 1-796682-0 is supplied in bulk packaging. Procurement and handling procedures may differ accordingly.

Q: Do both parts support the same screw torque specification?

A: Yes. Both components specify 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) screw torque, ensuring consistent assembly procedures and connection reliability.

Q: Are there any voltage or current limitations when using the substitute?

A: No. The 1-796682-0 meets or exceeds all electrical specifications of the ELM101100. Both are rated for 300V operation. The substitute's higher current rating (17.5A) does not impose restrictions on lower-current applications.
