ELXT06500 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELXT06500 is a 6-position terminal block plug manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for applications requiring screw-based wire termination with 90° wire entry orientation. This component is classified as active product status with full RoHS compliance and UL certification. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, packaging preferences, or specific application requirements where alternative wire entry angles or termination methods are acceptable within system design parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TS06115B0000G qualifies as a substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Position Count: Both parts feature 6 positions per level
• Pitch Specification: Both maintain 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch spacing
• Socket Type: Both are female socket plugs
• Voltage Rating: Both rated at 300 V UL
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Both accept 16-28 AWG wire
• Flammability Rating: Both meet UL94 V-0 standard
• RoHS Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant
• MSL Rating: Both classified as MSL 1

Substitution is valid where the following parameter differences are acceptable to the application design:

• Plug wire entry angle differs (90° vs. 270°)
• Termination method differs (Rising Cage Clamp vs. Leaf Spring with Wire Guard)
• Current rating differs (12 A vs. 8 A UL)
• Operating temperature range differs (125°C vs. -40°C to 115°C)
• Contact material differs (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze)
• Housing material differs (Polyamide PA46 vs. Thermoplastic)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ELXT06500 and TS06115B0000G maintain active product status with full regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements:

Select ELXT06500 when:

• 90° wire entry orientation is required
• Higher current capacity (12 A) is necessary
• Operating temperature must reach 125°C
• Rising cage clamp termination method is specified
• Tray packaging is preferred for assembly operations

Select TS06115B0000G when:

• 270° wire entry orientation is acceptable
• 8 A current rating is sufficient
• Operating temperature range of -40°C to 115°C is acceptable
• Leaf spring termination with wire guard is compatible
• Bulk packaging is acceptable
• ROHS3 compliance is required

Both parts carry identical voltage ratings (300 V UL), wire gauge compatibility (16-28 AWG), flammability ratings (UL94 V-0), and MSL classification (1), confirming electrical and environmental compatibility within their respective parameter ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TS06115B0000G replace ELXT06500 in all applications?

A: No. Substitution is valid only where the application design accommodates the parameter differences: 270° wire entry instead of 90°, 8 A current rating instead of 12 A, and operating temperature maximum of 115°C instead of 125°C.

Q: What is the significance of the different wire entry angles?

A: Wire entry angle (90° vs. 270°) determines the physical orientation of incoming wires relative to the connector body. This affects PCB layout, enclosure design, and cable routing. Substitution requires confirmation that the alternative angle is compatible with the mechanical design.

Q: Are the termination methods interchangeable?

A: Both use screw-based termination but employ different mechanisms: ELXT06500 uses rising cage clamp technology while TS06115B0000G uses leaf spring with wire guard. Both are screw-terminated, but the clamping mechanism differs. Verify that the alternative termination method is acceptable for your application.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both are RoHS compliant and UL94 V-0 rated. ELXT06500 is RoHS Compliant while TS06115B0000G is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet the specified electrical and flammability requirements for 300 V, 16-28 AWG applications.

Q: What is the impact of different contact materials?

A: ELXT06500 uses copper alloy contacts while TS06115B0000G uses phosphor bronze. Both materials are suitable for screw-terminated connections. Contact material selection affects corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity characteristics within the specified voltage and current ranges.

Q: How do packaging differences affect selection?

A: ELXT06500 is supplied in trays, suitable for automated assembly operations. TS06115B0000G is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging choice depends on production volume, assembly equipment compatibility, and inventory management requirements.
