ESLM05100 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ESLM05100 is a 5-position wire-to-board terminal block manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for horizontal PCB mounting with 5.00mm pitch spacing. This component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS Compliant. Terminal blocks of this specification are essential in applications requiring reliable wire-to-board connections with side entry configuration and screw-based termination. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, lead time constraints, or specific application requirements within the allowed electrical and mechanical parameter ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ESLM05100 are evaluated based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Number of positions per level: 5 positions (exact match required)
• Pitch spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) or 0.200" (5.08mm) within tolerance
• Mating orientation: Horizontal with Board
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Wire termination method: Screw - Rising Cage Clamp
• Voltage rating: Minimum 300 V
• Current rating: Minimum 10 A
• Wire gauge compatibility: 14-30 AWG or 12-30 AWG
• Housing material: Polyamide or Nylon variants
• RoHS compliance status: RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant

Substitute Classification:

Group 1 - Pitch Variant (5.08mm): Part 1729157 (Phoenix Contact) maintains 5-position configuration with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, representing a minor pitch tolerance variation within acceptable substitution parameters.

Group 2 - Position Variant (6-Position): Part 1989405 (Phoenix Contact) provides 6-position configuration, suitable only when additional positions are acceptable within the application design.

Group 3 - Direct Equivalent (5.00mm Pitch): Part 282836-5 (TE Connectivity) maintains identical 5-position configuration with matching 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch and equivalent electrical ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

282836-5 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) is the primary substitute for ESLM05100. Both components share identical pitch spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), matching position count (5), equivalent current rating (14.6 A), and identical voltage rating (300 V). Both are Active status products with RoHS compliance certifications. Housing materials are equivalent (PA66 Nylon 6/6). This substitute requires no design modification and maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

1729157 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MKDSN) is a secondary substitute suitable when pitch tolerance of 0.200" (5.08mm) is acceptable within PCB layout constraints. This part maintains 5-position configuration and equivalent voltage rating (300 V). Current rating is reduced to 10 A, which may limit applications requiring the full 14.6 A capacity of the original part. ROHS3 compliance status is equivalent to RoHS Compliant. This substitute requires PCB layout verification for pitch compatibility.

1989405 (Phoenix Contact COMBICON MKDSN) is not recommended as a direct substitute due to 6-position configuration, which exceeds the 5-position requirement of ESLM05100. This part is suitable only when application design permits additional positions. Current rating is reduced to 10 A. This substitute requires significant design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 282836-5 be used as a direct replacement for ESLM05100 without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), position count (5), and mounting hole patterns. No PCB layout modification is required. Electrical ratings are equivalent or superior (14.6 A current rating maintained).

Q: What is the pitch difference between ESLM05100 and 1729157, and does it affect compatibility?

A: ESLM05100 has 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, while 1729157 has 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch. This 0.03mm difference per position accumulates across the 5-position span. PCB mounting hole spacing must be verified before substitution. Mechanical fit depends on PCB design tolerance specifications.

Q: Why does 1989405 have 6 positions instead of 5?

A: 1989405 is a different product variant within the Phoenix Contact COMBICON MKDSN series. It is listed as a substitute option but requires application design to accommodate the additional position. Direct substitution is not possible without PCB redesign.

Q: Are there current rating differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. ESLM05100 and 282836-5 both support 14.6 A. Parts 1729157 and 1989405 support 10 A maximum. Applications requiring current levels between 10 A and 14.6 A must use ESLM05100 or 282836-5.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant status?

A: Both certifications indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard. Both statuses are acceptable for equivalent substitution purposes.

Q: Can ESLM05100 accept wire gauges smaller than 14 AWG?

A: No. ESLM05100 specification limits wire gauge to 14-30 AWG. Smaller gauge wires (larger AWG numbers) are not supported. Part 1989405 supports 12-30 AWG, allowing smaller diameter wires if required by application design.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: ESLM05100 is supplied in Tray packaging. Substitute parts 1729157, 1989405, and 282836-5 are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may impact inventory management and handling procedures.
