ELXP10100 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELXP10100 is a 10-position terminal block plug manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for inline applications requiring screw-based wire termination. This component features female sockets with 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch spacing and 180° free-hanging orientation. The part is currently active in production with 721 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications align with the core functional requirements of this terminal block category, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary performance parameters remain constant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELXP10100 is determined by strict alignment of the following core parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: Substitute parts must maintain 10 positions at 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch to ensure mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts.
• Connector Type & Orientation: Female socket plugs with 180° wire entry orientation are required to match the free-hanging inline mounting configuration.
• Termination Method: Screw-based rising cage clamp termination ensures consistent wire retention and electrical contact characteristics.
• Voltage & Current Ratings: UL-rated voltage of 300 V is maintained across all substitutes. Current ratings may vary within acceptable operational ranges for the intended application.
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Acceptable wire gauge ranges must overlap with or encompass the 16-28 AWG specification to support standard wiring practices.
• Flammability & Compliance: UL94 V-0 material rating and RoHS compliance are maintained across all qualified substitutes.

The substitute part 1-284506-0 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Buchanan series) meets these core substitution criteria while maintaining functional equivalence for standard terminal block applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELXP10100 and 1-284506-0 maintain active product status and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The ELXP10100 supports a maximum operating temperature of 125°C, while the 1-284506-0 operates within -40°C to 110°C. Selection between these parts should be based on the specific thermal requirements of the application. The 1-284506-0 accommodates a broader wire gauge range (14-30 AWG versus 16-28 AWG), providing additional flexibility for applications using larger or smaller conductor sizes. Both parts maintain identical pitch, position count, and termination methodology, ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability in standard inline terminal block applications. RoHS3 compliance of the 1-284506-0 represents current regulatory alignment compared to the RoHS Compliant designation of the ELXP10100.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-284506-0 be used as a direct replacement for the ELXP10100?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the -40°C to 110°C temperature range. Both parts share identical pitch (4.60mm), position count (10), wire entry orientation (180°), and termination method (screw-rising cage clamp). Verify that your application's maximum operating temperature does not exceed 110°C when using the 1-284506-0.

Q: What is the difference in wire gauge compatibility?

A: The ELXP10100 accepts 16-28 AWG wire, while the 1-284506-0 accepts 14-30 AWG wire. The 1-284506-0 provides a wider range, accommodating both larger (14 AWG) and smaller (29-30 AWG) conductors. Both ranges overlap at 16-28 AWG, ensuring compatibility for standard applications within this overlap zone.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The ELXP10100 is supplied in trays (721 units in stock), while the 1-284506-0 is supplied in bulk packaging (2574 units in stock). Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance; selection should be based on procurement and inventory requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 1-284506-0 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing alignment with current regulatory frameworks. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and are rated for 300 V UL operation.

Q: What are the screw torque specifications?

A: The ELXP10100 specifies 0.25 Nm (2.2 Lb-In) screw torque, while the 1-284506-0 specifies 0.31 Nm (2.7 Lb-In). These values represent the recommended torque for wire termination. Consult application-specific installation procedures to determine which torque specification applies to your assembly process.
