ELVT16500 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELVT16500 is a 16-position terminal block plug manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for free-hanging in-line applications with female sockets at 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch. This component is actively produced and stocked with 986 units available. Terminal block plugs of this configuration are essential in industrial control systems, machinery interfaces, and modular wiring harnesses where reliable screw-cage termination and standardized pitch spacing are required. Equivalent substitute parts may be necessary due to supply chain constraints, lead time requirements, or inventory availability across different distribution channels.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELVT16500 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Position Count and Pitch: Both main and substitute parts must maintain 16 positions at 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts.
• Connector Type: Female socket configuration required for compatibility with standard male pin headers and plug assemblies.
• Mounting Configuration: Free-hanging in-line orientation must be preserved to match installation geometry.
• Termination Method: Screw-based termination (cage clamp or equivalent) required for field-installable wire connections.
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage rating of 300 V UL and current capacity must meet or exceed 12 A UL to maintain system safety margins.
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Support for 16-28 AWG wire range ensures compatibility with standard industrial wiring practices.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance status must be maintained for regulatory adherence in target markets.

The EDZ1710/16 from On-Shore Technology meets these substitution criteria across all critical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELVT16500 and EDZ1710/16 are active production components with current inventory availability. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

ELVT16500 (Amphenol PCD) is suitable for applications requiring the maximum operating temperature of 125°C and where tray packaging is preferred for automated assembly processes. RoHS compliance is confirmed.

EDZ1710/16 (On-Shore Technology) is suitable for applications operating within the -30°C to 105°C temperature range and where bulk packaging is acceptable. ROHS3 compliance status provides regulatory alignment with current environmental standards.

Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (300 V, 12 A UL), wire gauge compatibility (16-28 AWG), and mechanical configuration (16 positions at 3.81mm pitch). The choice between these substitutes should be determined by specific application temperature requirements and packaging logistics rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EDZ1710/16 be used as a direct replacement for ELVT16500 in all applications?

A: EDZ1710/16 is mechanically and electrically compatible with ELVT16500 for applications operating within the -30°C to 105°C temperature range. Applications requiring sustained operation above 105°C must use ELVT16500 to maintain the 125°C rating.

Q: Are there differences in screw termination between these parts?

A: ELVT16500 specifies rising cage clamp termination, while EDZ1710/16 specifies screw termination. Both employ screw-based wire clamping mechanisms compatible with standard 16-28 AWG wire gauges. Torque specifications differ (0.25 Nm for ELVT16500 versus 0.4 Nm for EDZ1710/16); verify torque tool calibration when switching between parts.

Q: Do packaging differences affect component performance?

A: Packaging (tray versus bulk) affects logistics and assembly automation compatibility but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Select based on manufacturing process requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. ELVT16500 is RoHS Compliant, and EDZ1710/16 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current environmental regulations for restricted substances.

Q: What is the pitch compatibility between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing across all 16 positions, ensuring mechanical interchangeability with standard mating connectors and PCB layouts designed for this pitch standard.
