ELM111100 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM111100 is an 11-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 accommodates 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.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent terminal blocks share the same core functional specifications: 11 positions, 5.00mm pitch, horizontal mating orientation, through-hole mounting, and screw-based rising cage clamp termination. Finding alternatives becomes necessary for inventory optimization, lead time management, or when specific packaging or compliance requirements differ from the primary part.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELM111100 is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

• Position Count: Must be 11 positions per level
• Pitch Specification: Must be 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Mating Orientation: Must be horizontal with board configuration
• Mounting Method: Must be through-hole PCB mounting
• Termination Type: Must use screw-based rising cage clamp mechanism
• Interlocking Feature: Must include side interlocking capability
• Voltage Rating: Must support minimum 300 V
• Current Rating: Must support minimum 10 A

The substitute part 1-796682-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Buchanan series) meets all these criteria. While it offers enhanced current capacity (17.5 A versus 10 A) and expanded wire gauge compatibility (12-30 AWG versus 12-28 AWG), these represent functional improvements rather than deviations from the core specification set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM111100 and 1-796682-1 are active production components with full regulatory compliance. The ELM111100 carries RoHS compliance certification, while the 1-796682-1 meets ROHS3 compliance and is REACH affected. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Inventory and Lead Time: The 1-796682-1 offers higher stock availability (1270 pcs versus 785 pcs), which may reduce procurement delays.

Regulatory Requirements: Applications requiring ROHS3 compliance or REACH documentation should specify the 1-796682-1. Applications with standard RoHS requirements can use either part.

Current Capacity: The 1-796682-1 provides 17.5 A rating compared to the ELM111100's 10 A rating. For circuits operating near the 10 A threshold, the substitute offers additional thermal margin.

Wire Gauge Flexibility: The 1-796682-1 accommodates 12-30 AWG wire, providing compatibility with 30 AWG conductors not supported by the ELM111100's 12-28 AWG specification.

Packaging Format: The ELM111100 is supplied in tray packaging, while the 1-796682-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on assembly line requirements and inventory management practices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-796682-1 be used as a direct replacement for the ELM111100 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (11), mating orientation (horizontal with board), mounting method (through-hole), and termination mechanism (screw rising cage clamp). PCB footprints are compatible. The 1-796682-1 offers equal or superior electrical performance across all rated parameters.

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

A: The ELM111100 is rated for 10 A maximum current, while the 1-796682-1 is rated for 17.5 A maximum current. Both operate at 300 V. The higher current rating of the substitute does not create incompatibility; it represents increased capacity for the same application space.

Q: Are there wire gauge compatibility differences?

A: The ELM111100 accepts 12-28 AWG wire. The 1-796682-1 accepts 12-30 AWG wire. The substitute supports all wire gauges compatible with the primary part, plus 30 AWG conductors. No wire gauge used with the ELM111100 will be incompatible with the 1-796682-1.

Q: How do the packaging formats differ?

A: The ELM111100 is supplied in tray packaging, which provides organized component presentation for pick-and-place assembly. The 1-796682-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging typically requires manual sorting or tape-and-reel conversion for automated assembly lines.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each part?

A: The ELM111100 is RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating. The 1-796682-1 is ROHS3 compliant, REACH affected, with MSL 1 rating. ROHS3 represents a more recent compliance standard. Both parts meet unlimited moisture sensitivity requirements.

Q: Are the screw torque specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both the ELM111100 and 1-796682-1 require 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) screw torque. Installation procedures and torque specifications are identical between the two parts.

Q: What is the screw thread specification for the 1-796682-1?

A: The 1-796682-1 uses M3 screw thread. The ELM111100 screw thread specification is not provided in the technical data.
