ESLM04200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ESLM04200 is a 4-position wire-to-board terminal block manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for horizontal PCB mounting with side entry wire connections. This component operates at 300V with a 14.6A current rating and accommodates wire gauges from 14-30 AWG using screw-based rising cage clamp termination. The part is currently active in production with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, making it suitable for industrial control, power distribution, and signal routing applications where reliable wire-to-board connections are required.

Equivalent parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable or when design requirements permit functional alternatives.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ESLM04200 and 282837-4 are functionally equivalent based on the following critical parameters that determine substitutability:

Matching Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Positions per level: 4
• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Mating orientation: Horizontal with Board
• Current rating: 14.6 A
• Voltage rating: 300 V
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Wire termination method: Screw - Rising Cage Clamp
• Interlocking feature: Side entry
• Housing material: Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6

Varying Parameters (Design Considerations):

• Wire gauge range: ESLM04200 supports 14-30 AWG; 282837-4 supports 16-28 AWG
• Color: ESLM04200 is Black; 282837-4 is Green
• Screw torque specification: ESLM04200 requires 0.5 Nm; 282837-4 requires 0.68 Nm
• Contact material: ESLM04200 uses Copper Alloy; 282837-4 uses Brass
• Screw thread: ESLM04200 unspecified; 282837-4 is M3

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical interface compatibility, permitting direct substitution in applications where wire gauge requirements fall within the 16-28 AWG overlap range and torque specification differences are accommodated in assembly procedures.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ESLM04200 and 282837-4 maintain active product status with current manufacturing support. The ESLM04200 carries RoHS compliance certification, while the 282837-4 meets ROHS3 compliance and is subject to REACH regulations.

Selection between these parts should be based on wire gauge requirements within your application. The ESLM04200 accommodates the full 14-30 AWG range, providing flexibility for larger gauge conductors. The 282837-4 operates within the 16-28 AWG range, suitable for applications using standard industrial wire sizes.

Screw torque specifications differ between parts: the ESLM04200 requires 0.5 Nm while the 282837-4 requires 0.68 Nm. Assembly procedures must reflect the appropriate torque value for each part to ensure proper clamp force and electrical contact integrity.

Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 for export control purposes and carry unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 282837-4 directly replace the ESLM04200 in existing designs?

A: Direct substitution is permissible when wire gauges in your application fall within the 16-28 AWG overlap range. If your design uses 14 AWG or 29-30 AWG conductors, the ESLM04200 must be retained. Assembly procedures must be updated to reflect the 282837-4 screw torque specification of 0.68 Nm instead of 0.5 Nm.

Q: What is the significance of the different screw torque values?

A: The ESLM04200 specifies 0.5 Nm (4.4 Lb-In) while the 282837-4 specifies 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In). These values represent the maximum recommended torque for the rising cage clamp mechanism. Applying incorrect torque may result in inadequate contact pressure or over-tightening damage. Assembly equipment and procedures must be configured for the specific part being installed.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The ESLM04200 is supplied in Tray packaging with 978 pieces in current inventory. The 282837-4 is supplied in Bulk packaging with 35,973 pieces available. Packaging format may affect receiving, storage, and component handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do the different contact materials affect electrical performance?

A: Both the ESLM04200 (Copper Alloy - Tin Plated) and 282837-4 (Brass - Tin Plated) contacts are rated for identical voltage (300V) and current (14.6A) specifications. Material differences do not impact electrical performance within the specified operating parameters.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each part?

A: The ESLM04200 is RoHS Compliant. The 282837-4 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings. Regulatory requirements for your application will determine which certification status is required.
