ELXP02100 Terminal Block Plug Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELXP02100 is a 2-position terminal block plug manufactured by Amphenol PCD, featuring female sockets with 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch and 180° free-hanging in-line configuration. 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 main part's specifications, enabling direct replacement in applications where the core functional requirements remain constant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELXP02100 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Type: Plug, Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 2
• Termination Style: Screw - Rising Cage Clamp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Plug Wire Entry: 180°
• Voltage - UL: 300 V
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Compliance: Active

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Pitch tolerance (0.138" / 4.60mm primary; 0.150" / 3.81mm acceptable with mechanical verification)
• Current rating (minimum 11 A acceptable; ELXP02100 rated 12 A)
• Wire gauge overlap (14-30 AWG range encompasses 16-28 AWG)
• Operating temperature range (substitute range must accommodate application requirements)

The substitute parts 284506-2 and 284507-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Buchanan series) meet these criteria with the following considerations:

284506-2: Matches pitch (4.60mm), current (11 A), voltage (300 V), termination style, and mounting configuration. Wire gauge range (14-30 AWG) overlaps with ELXP02100 specification.

284507-2: Differs in pitch (3.81mm vs. 4.60mm) but maintains all other critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Pitch difference requires mechanical verification for mating compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

284506-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): This substitute maintains identical pitch (4.60mm), electrical ratings (300 V, 11 A), and mechanical configuration to the ELXP02100. Both parts are Active product status with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance. The 284506-2 is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the operating temperature requirement does not exceed 110°C and current demand does not exceed 11 A. Wire gauge compatibility is confirmed within the overlapping range of 16-28 AWG.

284507-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): This substitute differs in pitch specification (3.81mm vs. 4.60mm) and therefore requires mechanical verification of mating compatibility with existing connector headers or receptacles. Electrical parameters (300 V, 11 A) and flammability rating (UL94 V-0) are equivalent. Product status is Active with ROHS3 compliance. Selection of this part is contingent upon confirmation that the 3.81mm pitch is compatible with the application's mating interface.

Both substitute parts are available in higher inventory quantities (3594 and 11914 units respectively) compared to the ELXP02100 (726 units).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 284506-2 be used as a direct replacement for ELXP02100?

A: Yes, 284506-2 is a direct substitute. Both parts share identical pitch (4.60mm), termination style (Screw - Rising Cage Clamp), mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line), and voltage rating (300 V). The current rating of 284506-2 (11 A) is lower than ELXP02100 (12 A); verify that application current requirements do not exceed 11 A. Operating temperature range of 284506-2 (-40°C to 110°C) is narrower than ELXP02100 (125°C maximum); confirm application temperature does not exceed 110°C.

Q: What is the primary difference between 284506-2 and 284507-2?

A: The primary difference is pitch specification. 284506-2 maintains the 4.60mm pitch of the ELXP02100, while 284507-2 uses 3.81mm pitch. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent between these two TE Connectivity parts. Pitch selection depends on mating connector compatibility.

Q: Can 284507-2 be used if the application requires 4.60mm pitch?

A: No. The 3.81mm pitch of 284507-2 is not compatible with 4.60mm pitch mating connectors. Mechanical mismatch will prevent proper mating and electrical connection. Use 284506-2 for 4.60mm pitch applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. ELXP02100 is supplied in Tray packaging, while both 284506-2 and 284507-2 are supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm that bulk packaging meets procurement and handling requirements for your application.

Q: What is the impact of different contact materials (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze)?

A: Contact material differences are provided as specified data. Both materials are suitable for the stated electrical parameters (300 V, 11-12 A). Material selection does not affect electrical compatibility for this application category.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. 284506-2 is RoHS Compliant and 284507-2 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet RoHS regulatory requirements. ELXP02100 is RoHS Compliant.

Q: What is the significance of the screw torque difference (0.25 Nm vs. 0.31 Nm)?

A: Screw torque specification indicates the recommended tightening force for wire termination. The ELXP02100 specifies 0.25 Nm while substitutes specify 0.31 Nm. Follow the torque specification of the part being used to ensure proper wire termination without over-tightening or under-tightening.
