ELVT08600 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELVT08600 is an 8-position terminal block plug manufactured by Amphenol PCD, featuring female sockets with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing and 270° free-hanging wire entry orientation. This component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS compliant. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory constraints, regional availability, or specific application requirements where wire entry angle or termination method compatibility differs from the original specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELVT08600 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Criteria:

• Number of positions: 8 (fixed requirement)
• Pitch spacing: 0.150" (3.81mm) (fixed requirement)
• Type: Plug with female sockets (fixed requirement)
• Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line) (fixed requirement)
• Wire gauge compatibility: 16-28 AWG (acceptable range)
• Voltage rating: Minimum 300 V UL (acceptable at or above specification)
• RoHS compliance status: Required for equivalent substitution

Variable Parameters Allowing Substitution:

• Plug wire entry angle (270° in main part; 90° acceptable in substitute if mechanical fit permits)
• Termination style (screw-based methods are interchangeable: rising cage clamp vs. clamping yoke)
• Operating temperature range (substitute may have different range if minimum meets application needs)
• Current rating (substitute may differ if UL rating meets or exceeds 12 A requirement)
• Housing color (functional equivalence, not performance-critical)
• Packaging format (tray vs. bulk does not affect electrical performance)

The two substitute parts listed (1939890000 and EDZ1700/8) meet all core compatibility criteria while differing in wire entry angle, termination mechanism, and operating temperature specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELVT08600 (Amphenol PCD) - Primary Specification

Use this part number when the 270° wire entry angle is required for the mechanical layout of your application and when the maximum operating temperature of 125°C is necessary. This part maintains the highest temperature rating among the three options and is the original specification baseline.

1939890000 (Weidmüller Omnimate BC Series) - Alternative with 90° Wire Entry

This substitute is suitable when a 90° wire entry angle is compatible with your enclosure or panel design. The Weidmüller part features a clamping yoke termination method and includes IP20 ingress protection rating. The maximum operating temperature is 120°C, which is acceptable for most industrial applications. The UL current rating is 10 A, which is lower than the ELVT08600 specification; verify that your circuit current does not exceed 10 A. This part is available in bulk packaging and carries RoHS compliance certification.

EDZ1700/8 (On Shore Technology EDZ1700 Series) - Alternative with Unspecified Wire Entry

This substitute meets the core electrical and mechanical requirements with 8 positions at 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch and 300 V UL voltage rating. The wire entry angle is not specified in the provided data; clarification from the manufacturer is necessary before selection if wire entry orientation is critical to your application. The operating temperature range is -30°C to 105°C, which is lower than the ELVT08600 maximum of 125°C. The torque specification is 0.4 Nm, which differs from the ELVT08600 specification of 0.25 Nm. This part carries ROHS3 compliance and is available in bulk packaging.

All three parts are Active product status and meet RoHS compliance requirements for equivalent substitution in applications where the specified parameter variations are acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use part 1939890000 as a direct replacement for ELVT08600?

A: Part 1939890000 is electrically and mechanically compatible for 8-position, 3.81mm pitch terminal block applications. The primary difference is the wire entry angle (90° vs. 270°). If your enclosure or panel layout accommodates a 90° wire entry orientation, this part is suitable. The UL current rating of 10 A is lower than the ELVT08600 specification of 12 A; ensure your application current does not exceed 10 A.

Q: What is the significance of the different wire entry angles?

A: Wire entry angle determines the physical orientation of the wire connection relative to the terminal block body. The ELVT08600 features 270° entry (wire approaches from the rear), while 1939890000 features 90° entry (wire approaches from the side). The choice depends on your specific enclosure layout and cable routing requirements. These are not interchangeable without mechanical redesign.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The ELVT08600 and 1939890000 are RoHS Compliant. The EDZ1700/8 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both certifications meet current RoHS requirements and are acceptable for equivalent substitution.

Q: What is the difference between "Screw - Rising Cage Clamp" and "Screw - Clamping Yoke" termination?

A: Both are screw-based termination methods suitable for wire connection. Rising cage clamp (ELVT08600) and clamping yoke (1939890000) are different mechanical implementations of the same functional principle. Both methods secure the wire through screw tightening. The choice between them depends on your assembly process and tooling compatibility.

Q: Can I use EDZ1700/8 if the wire entry angle is not specified?

A: The EDZ1700/8 meets all core electrical and mechanical specifications (8 positions, 3.81mm pitch, 300 V, 16-28 AWG compatibility). However, the wire entry angle is not provided in the available data. Contact On Shore Technology Inc. directly to confirm the wire entry angle before selection if this parameter is critical to your application layout.

Q: What should I consider regarding operating temperature?

A: The ELVT08600 operates to 125°C maximum. The 1939890000 operates to 120°C maximum, and the EDZ1700/8 operates to 105°C maximum. If your application requires sustained operation above 105°C, the EDZ1700/8 is not suitable. If operation above 120°C is required, only the ELVT08600 meets the specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The ELVT08600 is supplied in tray packaging. Both 1939890000 and EDZ1700/8 are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance; it is a logistics consideration for procurement and handling.

Q: What is the difference in screw torque specifications?

A: The ELVT08600 specifies 0.25 Nm (2.2 Lb-In) torque. The 1939890000 specifies 0.2-0.25 Nm (1.7-2.2 Lb-In) torque range. The EDZ1700/8 specifies 0.4 Nm (4.6 Lb-In) torque. These specifications must be followed during wire termination to ensure proper contact pressure and avoid over-tightening or under-tightening, which can result in connection failure.
