ELVT08500 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELVT08500 is an 8-position terminal block plug manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for free-hanging in-line applications with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing. This component features female sockets with 90° wire entry and screw-based rising cage clamp termination. The part is currently active in production with 1129 units in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when components share identical or compatible electrical and mechanical specifications within the terminal block plug category, enabling direct replacement in applications where the main part is unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELVT08500 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: All substitute parts must have 8 positions with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing to ensure mechanical compatibility with mating connectors.
• Connector Type: Female socket plugs with free-hanging in-line mounting are required for direct replacement.
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Acceptable wire gauge range must encompass or overlap with 16-28 AWG to support the same conductor sizes.
• Voltage Rating: Minimum UL voltage rating of 300 V is required to maintain electrical safety margins.
• Termination Method: Screw-based termination is mandatory; cage clamp or clamping yoke variants are functionally equivalent for this application.
• Flammability & Compliance: UL94 V-0 material rating and RoHS compliance are required for regulatory equivalence.

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: Weidmüller 1939890000 and On Shore Technology EDZ1700/8.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Weidmüller 1939890000 is the primary substitute option. This part maintains full compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS standards. The screw torque range (0.2-0.25 Nm) overlaps with the ELVT08500 specification, and the wire gauge compatibility (16-28 AWG) is identical. The maximum operating temperature of 120°C is slightly lower than the ELVT08500 (125°C), which may be a consideration in high-temperature applications. Current rating under UL conditions is 10 A versus 12 A for the main part. The Omnimate BC series housing includes glass-filled nylon for enhanced mechanical properties.

On Shore Technology EDZ1700/8 meets the core substitution criteria of 8 positions, 3.81mm pitch, and 300 V UL voltage rating. However, this part has a higher screw torque specification (0.4 Nm) and a lower maximum operating temperature (105°C). Material flammability rating is not specified in the provided data. This part is suitable for applications where the lower temperature range and higher torque specification do not present constraints.

Both substitute parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings and are RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements equivalent to the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Weidmüller 1939890000 be used as a direct replacement for the ELVT08500?

A: Yes, within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share identical 8-position, 3.81mm pitch configuration, 300 V UL voltage rating, and 16-28 AWG wire gauge compatibility. The screw torque specification for the Weidmüller part (0.2-0.25 Nm) overlaps with the ELVT08500 (0.25 Nm). The primary difference is the maximum operating temperature: 120°C for the Weidmüller versus 125°C for the Amphenol part. Applications operating below 120°C will experience no functional difference.

Q: What are the key differences between the EDZ1700/8 and the ELVT08500?

A: The EDZ1700/8 maintains compatibility in position count, pitch, voltage rating, and wire gauge range. The screw torque specification is higher (0.4 Nm versus 0.25 Nm), requiring adjustment of installation procedures. The maximum operating temperature is lower (105°C versus 125°C). Material flammability rating is not specified for the EDZ1700/8, which may require verification for applications with specific UL94 requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The ELVT08500 is supplied in trays with 1129 units in stock. The Weidmüller 1939890000 is supplied in bulk packaging with 879 units available. The On Shore Technology EDZ1700/8 is supplied in bulk packaging with 1089 units available. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height difference between the ELVT08500 and the Weidmüller 1939890000?

A: The ELVT08500 has an insulation height of 0.738" (18.75mm), while the Weidmüller part measures 0.411" (10.44mm). This difference reflects different housing designs but does not affect electrical performance. Physical clearance in the application enclosure must be verified to ensure the substitute part fits within available space.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for high-temperature applications?

A: The ELVT08500 is rated to 125°C. The Weidmüller 1939890000 is rated to 120°C, and the On Shore Technology EDZ1700/8 is rated to 105°C. For applications requiring operation at or above 120°C, the ELVT08500 is the only option among these three parts.

Q: Do all three parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The ELVT08500 and Weidmüller 1939890000 are RoHS Compliant. The On Shore Technology EDZ1700/8 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both designations satisfy RoHS regulatory requirements.
