ELVT10500 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELVT10500 is a 10-position terminal block plug manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for free-hanging in-line applications with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing. This active product features female sockets with screw-rising cage clamp termination, rated for 12 A at 300 V (UL). The component is RoHS compliant and suitable for applications requiring reliable electrical connections in industrial control and distribution systems. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance can be maintained across different manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELVT10500 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed UL specifications (12 A at 300 V minimum)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 10-position configuration with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing and free-hanging in-line mounting
• Termination Compatibility: Screw-based termination suitable for 16-28 AWG wire
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Contact Material: Copper alloy or equivalent tin-plated copper construction

The identified substitute parts maintain these core parameters while accommodating variations in wire entry orientation, screw torque specifications, and housing material composition.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1798980000 (Weidmüller Omnimate BC Series)

This substitute maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility with the ELVT10500. The UL current rating of 10 A is within acceptable tolerance for most applications, though designs requiring the full 12 A capacity should be evaluated. The component is RoHS compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The operating temperature range of -50°C to 120°C covers the ELVT10500 specification. Wire entry orientation differs (270° versus 90°), requiring mechanical layout verification. Screw torque specification (0.2-0.25 Nm) aligns with the ELVT10500 (0.25 Nm).

EDZ1700/10 (On Shore Technology EDZ1700 Series)

This substitute provides mechanical compatibility with identical pitch, position count, and mounting configuration. ROHS3 compliance exceeds RoHS requirements. The operating temperature range of -30°C to 105°C is narrower than the ELVT10500, limiting use in high-temperature applications above 105°C. Flammability rating is not specified in available documentation. Screw torque specification (0.4 Nm) exceeds the ELVT10500 requirement, necessitating torque adjustment during installation. Current rating is not specified, requiring application-specific evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1798980000 be used as a direct replacement for the ELVT10500?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained. The 10 A UL current rating is lower than the ELVT10500 (12 A), so applications requiring the full 12 A capacity must be evaluated. Wire entry orientation differs (270° versus 90°), requiring verification of mechanical fit within the enclosure or connector assembly.

Q: What is the significance of the different wire entry angles (90° versus 270°)?

A: Wire entry angle determines the physical orientation of incoming wires relative to the terminal block body. A 90° entry means wires approach perpendicular to the block face, while 270° entry represents a different rotational orientation. Selection depends on available space and wire routing within the application assembly.

Q: Is the EDZ1700/10 suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: The EDZ1700/10 operating temperature range (-30°C to 105°C) is narrower than the ELVT10500 (-40°C to 125°C). Applications requiring operation above 105°C should use the ELVT10500 or 1798980000 substitute.

Q: How do screw torque differences affect installation?

A: The ELVT10500 specifies 0.25 Nm torque, the 1798980000 specifies 0.2-0.25 Nm (compatible range), and the EDZ1700/10 specifies 0.4 Nm. Higher torque on the EDZ1700/10 requires adjustment of installation procedures to prevent over-tightening or under-tightening relative to the original specification.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The ELVT10500 and 1798980000 are RoHS compliant. The EDZ1700/10 is ROHS3 compliant, which represents an updated regulatory standard and exceeds RoHS requirements.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these substitutes?

A: The ELVT10500 is supplied in trays (1169 pcs in stock). The 1798980000 and EDZ1700/10 are supplied in bulk packaging (745 pcs and 1010 pcs in stock respectively). Procurement and handling procedures may differ based on packaging format.
