Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ESLM12100 are identified based on strict equivalence of core functional parameters. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

• 12 positions per level configuration
• 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing
• Horizontal with board mating orientation
• Through hole mounting capability
• Screw-based rising cage clamp wire termination
• Side interlocking feature
• Polyamide (PA66) housing material
• 14.6 A current rating
• 300 V voltage rating

The substitute part 1-282836-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Buchanan series) meets all core functional requirements and is therefore classified as an equivalent substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ESLM12100 and 1-282836-2 are Active status products with current RoHS compliance certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following provided specifications:

Wire gauge compatibility: The ESLM12100 supports 14-30 AWG, while 1-282836-2 supports 16-30 AWG. Applications requiring 14-15 AWG wire connections must use ESLM12100.

Contact material: ESLM12100 uses copper alloy contacts; 1-282836-2 uses brass contacts. Both are tin-plated for corrosion resistance.

Screw torque specification: ESLM12100 requires 0.5 Nm torque; 1-282836-2 requires 0.68 Nm torque. Installation procedures must reflect the appropriate torque value for each part.

Packaging: ESLM12100 is supplied in trays; 1-282836-2 is supplied in bulk. Procurement and handling procedures may differ accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-282836-2 be used as a direct replacement for ESLM12100 in all applications?

A: 1-282836-2 is functionally equivalent for applications using wire gauges 16-30 AWG. Applications requiring 14-15 AWG wire connections must use ESLM12100, as 1-282836-2 does not support these smaller gauges.

Q: What are the differences in contact materials between these parts?

A: ESLM12100 uses copper alloy contacts with tin plating. 1-282836-2 uses brass contacts with tin plating. Both materials provide equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance for the specified voltage and current ratings.

Q: Are there torque specification differences during installation?

A: Yes. ESLM12100 requires 0.5 Nm (4.4 Lb-In) screw torque, while 1-282836-2 requires 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In). Installation procedures must use the correct torque value for each part to ensure proper clamping force and electrical contact.

Q: Do both parts meet current RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. ESLM12100 is RoHS Compliant, and 1-282836-2 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements for restricted substances.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: ESLM12100 is packaged in trays, while 1-282836-2 is packaged in bulk. Packaging selection may affect inventory management, handling procedures, and procurement logistics.

Q: Are the pitch and position configurations identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 12 positions per level with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing, ensuring identical PCB footprint compatibility and wire entry spacing.
