ESLM12200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ESLM12200 is a 12-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 1164 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and board integration requirements can be met by alternative manufacturers while maintaining the same functional specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ESLM12200 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• 12-position configuration with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing
• Horizontal with board mating orientation
• Through-hole PCB mounting
• Screw-based rising cage clamp wire termination with side entry
• Minimum current rating of 14.6A and voltage rating of 300V
• Wire gauge compatibility within the specified range
• Polyamide housing material
• Operating temperature range support

The substitute part 1-282837-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Buchanan series) meets these core substitution criteria. Both parts share identical position count, pitch, mating orientation, mounting type, termination method, and housing material. Electrical ratings and temperature performance are equivalent or exceed the main part specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ESLM12200 and 1-282837-2 are active production components with full RoHS compliance. The ESLM12200 carries RoHS certification, while the 1-282837-2 carries ROHS3 certification and is REACH affected. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Wire gauge requirements: The ESLM12200 supports 14-30 AWG, while the 1-282837-2 supports 16-28 AWG. Applications requiring 14 AWG or 30 AWG wire must use the ESLM12200.
• Screw torque specification: The ESLM12200 requires 0.5 Nm torque, while the 1-282837-2 requires 0.68 Nm torque. Assembly procedures must reflect the appropriate torque value for the selected part.
• Contact material: The ESLM12200 uses copper alloy contacts, while the 1-282837-2 uses brass contacts. Both are tin-plated and suitable for the specified electrical environment.
• Regulatory environment: Applications subject to REACH regulations may require the 1-282837-2 due to its REACH affected status.
• Packaging: The ESLM12200 is supplied in trays, while the 1-282837-2 is supplied in bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-282837-2 directly replace the ESLM12200 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible for applications using wire gauges within the 16-28 AWG range. Applications requiring 14 AWG or 30 AWG wire must use the ESLM12200, as the 1-282837-2 does not support these gauges.

Q: What is the impact of different screw torque specifications?

A: The ESLM12200 requires 0.5 Nm torque while the 1-282837-2 requires 0.68 Nm torque. Assembly procedures and torque tools must be adjusted accordingly to prevent under-tightening or over-tightening, which could affect electrical contact quality and mechanical integrity.

Q: Are the contact materials interchangeable?

A: Both parts use tin-plated contacts on different base materials (copper alloy versus brass). Both materials are suitable for the 300V, 14.6A electrical environment specified. Material selection does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What are the packaging differences?

A: The ESLM12200 is supplied in trays, while the 1-282837-2 is supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory management and handling procedures may differ based on packaging format.

Q: Does REACH compliance affect part selection?

A: The 1-282837-2 is REACH affected, while the ESLM12200 status is not specified. Applications subject to REACH regulations should verify compliance requirements with their supply chain and regulatory documentation.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the full -40°C to 110°C temperature range?

A: The ESLM12200 specifies -40°C to 110°C operating temperature. The 1-282837-2 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. Thermal performance verification is required for the 1-282837-2 in temperature-critical applications.
