ELVP02100 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELVP02100 is a 2-position terminal block plug manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for inline applications with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing and 180° free-hanging wire entry. 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 component interchangeability in applications where the main part is unavailable or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELVP02100 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Pitch: Both main and substitute parts must maintain 2 positions at 0.150" (3.81mm) spacing to ensure mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts.
Wire Entry Orientation: 180° free-hanging configuration is mandatory for inline applications.
Termination Method: Screw-based rising cage clamp termination ensures consistent wire retention and electrical contact.
Voltage Rating: Minimum 300 V UL rating required for equivalent electrical performance.
Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating is a baseline safety requirement.
Contact Finish & Material: Tin-plated contacts with copper or phosphor bronze base materials provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Insulation Height: 0.437" (11.10mm) dimension must be maintained for mechanical fit.

The substitute part 284507-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Buchanan series) meets these core substitution criteria.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ELVP02100 and 284507-2 are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for applications operating within the overlapping parameter envelope. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Current Requirements: The ELVP02100 supports 12 A UL rating, while the 284507-2 supports 11 A. Applications requiring the full 12 A capacity must use the ELVP02100.
Temperature Environment: The ELVP02100 operates to 125°C maximum, while the 284507-2 operates to 110°C maximum. High-temperature applications above 110°C require the ELVP02100.
Wire Gauge Compatibility: The 284507-2 accommodates a broader wire gauge range (14-30 AWG vs. 16-28 AWG), providing flexibility for applications using larger or smaller conductors within the 14-16 AWG and 28-30 AWG boundaries.
Regulatory Compliance: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, meeting equivalent safety and environmental standards.
Availability & Packaging: The ELVP02100 is supplied in trays (707 pcs in stock), while the 284507-2 is supplied in bulk packaging (11914 pcs in stock). Packaging selection depends on procurement volume and logistics requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 284507-2 directly replace the ELVP02100 in all applications?

A: The 284507-2 is mechanically and electrically compatible for most applications. However, direct replacement is not suitable for circuits requiring the full 12 A current capacity or operating temperatures above 110°C. Verify application current and temperature specifications before substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are current rating (12 A vs. 11 A), maximum operating temperature (125°C vs. 110°C), wire gauge range (16-28 AWG vs. 14-30 AWG), contact material (copper alloy vs. phosphor bronze), and housing material (PA46 vs. PA66). All other critical parameters—pitch, position count, termination method, voltage rating, and flammability compliance—are identical.

Q: Are the screw torque specifications equivalent?

A: No. The ELVP02100 specifies 0.25 Nm (2.2 Lb-In) torque, while the 284507-2 specifies 0.31 Nm (2.7 Lb-In). Use the appropriate torque value for each part to ensure proper wire retention and electrical contact.

Q: Does packaging type affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. Packaging (tray vs. bulk) affects only logistics, storage, and handling. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are RoHS compliant. Selection for high-reliability applications should be based on specific current, temperature, and environmental requirements outlined in the application specification.

Q: What is the wire strip length difference, and does it matter?

A: The ELVP02100 specifies 6.35mm wire strip length, while the 284507-2 specifies 5-6mm. This minor difference reflects manufacturing tolerances and does not affect compatibility in standard applications. Verify wire preparation procedures match the selected part's specification.
