ESLM03100 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ESLM03100 is a 3-position wire-to-board terminal block manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for horizontal PCB mounting with side entry wire connection. This component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS Compliant. Terminal blocks of this specification are essential in applications requiring reliable electrical connections between external wiring and printed circuit boards. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements that align with equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ESLM03100 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Core Compatibility Criteria:

3 positions per level (fixed requirement)
0.197" to 0.200" pitch tolerance (5.00mm to 5.08mm)
Horizontal with board mating orientation
Through hole mounting type
Screw-based wire termination with rising cage clamp mechanism
Current rating of 14.6 A or greater
Voltage rating of 300 V or greater
Wire gauge acceptance range that includes 14 AWG minimum
Operating temperature range that encompasses standard industrial applications

The identified substitute parts meet these core criteria while maintaining functional compatibility in wire-to-board terminal block applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

282836-3 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): This substitute maintains identical pitch (0.197"), current rating (14.6 A), and voltage rating (300 V) specifications. Both parts are Active status products with RoHS compliance certifications. The primary consideration is wire gauge acceptance: the 282836-3 accepts 16-30 AWG, which excludes 14 AWG applications supported by the ESLM03100. This part is suitable for applications using 16 AWG or larger conductors. ROHS3 compliance status provides enhanced regulatory alignment for certain markets.

EDZ250/3 (On Shore Technology Inc.): This substitute offers a slightly larger pitch tolerance (0.200" versus 0.197") and higher current rating (15 A versus 14.6 A). Wire gauge acceptance (14-28 AWG) covers the lower end of the ESLM03100 range but excludes 29-30 AWG applications. The operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C) is narrower than the ESLM03100 (-40°C ~ 110°C). This part is suitable for applications within the specified temperature limits and wire gauge range. ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status are provided.

Both substitute parts maintain Active product status and are suitable for direct functional replacement within their specified parameter boundaries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 282836-3 replace the ESLM03100 in all applications?

A: The 282836-3 is functionally equivalent for applications using wire gauges 16-30 AWG. Applications requiring 14 AWG wire termination must use the ESLM03100 or EDZ250/3, as the 282836-3 does not accept 14 AWG conductors.

Q: What is the pitch difference between ESLM03100 and EDZ250/3?

A: The ESLM03100 has a pitch of 0.197" (5.00mm), while the EDZ250/3 has a pitch of 0.200" (5.08mm). This 0.003" difference may affect PCB layout compatibility. Verify PCB hole spacing before substitution.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: The ESLM03100 is RoHS Compliant. Both 282836-3 and EDZ250/3 are ROHS3 Compliant, which represents an updated compliance standard. All three parts meet RoHS requirements.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest current rating?

A: The EDZ250/3 has a current rating of 15 A, compared to 14.6 A for both the ESLM03100 and 282836-3. The EDZ250/3 provides additional current capacity margin.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part?

A: The ESLM03100 operates from -40°C to 110°C. The 282836-3 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. The EDZ250/3 operates from -30°C to 105°C. Verify temperature requirements for your application before selecting a substitute.

Q: Can I use EDZ250/3 in place of ESLM03100 on existing PCBs?

A: The pitch difference (0.003") may require PCB modification. Verify that existing PCB hole spacing accommodates the 0.200" pitch of the EDZ250/3 before substitution. Physical testing is recommended for critical applications.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The ESLM03100 is supplied in Tray packaging. The 282836-3 and EDZ250/3 are supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
