EM221506V Terminal Block Header 6 Position Vertical 5MM

Part Overview

The EM221506V is a 6-position terminal block header manufactured by Eaton Electronics Division, designed for vertical through-hole mounting with 5.00mm pitch spacing. This component functions as a male pin header with 4-side shrouding, rated for 16A at 300V UL specifications. The part is currently active in production with 737 units in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary component becomes unavailable, when alternative compliance certifications are required, or when design modifications necessitate different electrical or mechanical characteristics within the same functional category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EM221506V is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant or compatible:

Fixed Parameters (Must Match):

• Number of Positions: 6
• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Header Orientation: Vertical
• Termination Style: Solder
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Voltage Rating - UL: 300 V
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation Height: 0.472" (12.00mm)

Variable Parameters (Acceptable Differences):

• Shrouding configuration (4-side vs. 2-side)
• Current rating (16A, 15A, or 12A)
• Contact tail length
• Housing material composition
• RoHS compliance status
• Operating temperature range
• Contact material (Brass vs. Copper Alloy)

The substitute parts 1753518 (Phoenix Contact) and 282822-6 (TE Connectivity) meet all fixed parameters while differing in shrouding design and electrical ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

EM221506V (Eaton) - Primary Selection: Select this part when 4-side shrouding is required for maximum EMI shielding and mechanical protection. The 16A UL current rating provides the highest capacity among the three options. This part is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and the extended lower temperature range (-55°C) is necessary.

1753518 (Phoenix Contact) - Alternative Selection: Select this part when ROHS3 compliance is mandatory and 2-side shrouding is acceptable. The 12A UL current rating is the lowest among the three options and should be verified against circuit requirements. This part is suitable for modern applications requiring environmental compliance certifications. Operating temperature range is not specified and must be confirmed for temperature-critical applications.

282822-6 (TE Connectivity) - Alternative Selection: Select this part when ROHS3 compliance is required and a 15A UL current rating is sufficient. The 2-side shrouding configuration reduces mechanical protection compared to the primary part. This part offers the widest specified operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 110°C) and is suitable for applications requiring extended high-temperature operation. The Buchanan series provides established compatibility with TE Connectivity connector ecosystems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1753518 directly replace EM221506V in all applications?

A: No. While both parts share identical pitch, position count, and voltage rating, the 1753518 has a lower UL current rating (12A vs. 16A). Verify that your circuit current does not exceed 12A. Additionally, the 2-side shrouding provides less EMI protection than the 4-side shrouding of the EM221506V.

Q: What is the difference between 4-side and 2-side shrouding?

A: 4-side shrouding (EM221506V) provides complete enclosure of the pin field on all four sides, offering maximum EMI shielding and mechanical protection. 2-side shrouding (1753518, 282822-6) provides protection on two opposing sides only, reducing overall shielding effectiveness but maintaining mechanical stability.

Q: Are the substitute parts compatible with the same mating connectors as EM221506V?

A: Compatibility depends on the specific mating connector design. All three parts share the same 5.00mm pitch and vertical orientation, but shrouding configuration differences may affect physical fit. Verify mating connector specifications before substitution.

Q: Which substitute part should I select if RoHS compliance is required?

A: Both 1753518 (Phoenix Contact) and 282822-6 (TE Connectivity) are ROHS3 compliant. The EM221506V is RoHS non-compliant. Select based on current rating requirements: 282822-6 for 15A applications or 1753518 for 12A applications.

Q: What is the impact of different contact tail lengths?

A: Contact tail length affects solder joint depth and PCB hole engagement. EM221506V has 0.177" (4.50mm) tails, 1753518 has 0.154" (3.90mm) tails, and 282822-6 has 0.138" (3.50mm) tails. Shorter tails may require PCB design adjustment for adequate solder joint formation. Verify PCB hole depth specifications before substitution.

Q: Can I use 282822-6 in applications requiring -55°C operation?

A: No. The 282822-6 operating temperature range is -40°C ~ 110°C, which does not extend to -55°C. The EM221506V supports -55°C ~ 105°C. For applications requiring -55°C operation, use the EM221506V or confirm that 1753518 meets temperature requirements (operating temperature not specified in available data).

Q: Are there differences in housing material that affect performance?

A: Yes. EM221506V uses Thermoplastic housing, while 1753518 uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon and 282822-6 uses Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6. PA66 (282822-6) offers superior mechanical strength and temperature stability compared to standard PA. Thermoplastic (EM221506V) provides adequate performance for standard applications.
