Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The part 284506-6 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Buchanan series) qualifies as a substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain 300 V UL voltage rating and screw-based rising cage clamp termination
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical 6-position configuration with 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch and 180° free-hanging orientation
• Wire Gauge Overlap: ELXP06100 accepts 16-28 AWG; 284506-6 accepts 14-30 AWG, providing compatible range for standard applications
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance status
• Insulation Height: Both parts specify 0.437" (11.10mm) insulation height, ensuring mechanical fit in equivalent mounting spaces

Substitution is valid where the application wire gauge falls within the overlapping range (16-28 AWG) and operating temperature does not exceed 110°C.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELXP06100 (Primary Selection): Suitable for applications requiring maximum operating temperature of 125°C. RoHS Compliant status meets standard environmental requirements. Active product status ensures continued availability and supply chain stability.

284506-6 (Substitute Selection): Applicable where operating temperature does not exceed 110°C and wire gauge requirements fall within 16-28 AWG overlap range. ROHS3 Compliant status meets enhanced environmental standards. Side stacking feature provides additional mechanical flexibility in certain mounting configurations. Higher inventory availability (1101 units) may support expedited procurement needs.

Both parts carry identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and equivalent electrical specifications within their respective operating ranges. Selection between primary and substitute should be based on thermal requirements, supply availability, and specific application constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 284506-6 replace ELXP06100 in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only where application operating temperature does not exceed 110°C. ELXP06100 supports continuous operation to 125°C; 284506-6 is rated to 110°C maximum. Wire gauge must fall within the overlapping range of 16-28 AWG for both parts.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: Primary differences include operating temperature range (ELXP06100: to 125°C vs. 284506-6: to 110°C), wire gauge acceptance (ELXP06100: 16-28 AWG vs. 284506-6: 14-30 AWG), housing material (ELXP06100: PA46 vs. 284506-6: PA66), and contact material (ELXP06100: Copper Alloy vs. 284506-6: Phosphor Bronze). Both maintain identical pitch, position count, and voltage rating.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. ELXP06100 carries RoHS Compliant status. 284506-6 carries ROHS3 Compliant status, which represents an enhanced compliance standard. Both meet RoHS requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What is the significance of the screw torque specification difference?

A: ELXP06100 specifies 0.25 Nm (2.2 Lb-In) torque; 284506-6 specifies 0.31 Nm (2.7 Lb-In). These values reflect different screw designs and housing materials. Proper torque application per manufacturer specification is required to ensure reliable termination and prevent wire damage.

Q: Can these parts be intermixed in the same assembly?

A: Both parts maintain identical pitch (0.138" / 4.60mm), position count (6), and insulation height (0.437" / 11.10mm), allowing mechanical interchangeability in equivalent mounting spaces. However, application thermal requirements must be verified before substitution to ensure the selected part's operating temperature range is appropriate.
