ESLM16200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ESLM16200 is a 16-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 1132 units in stock. Equivalent parts are identified when they maintain the same functional specifications for pitch, positions, voltage, current, mounting orientation, and wire termination method, allowing direct substitution in applications where these core parameters are critical.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ESLM16200 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• 16 positions per level configuration
• 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing
• Horizontal with board mating orientation
• 300V voltage rating minimum
• 14.6A current rating minimum
• Through hole mounting type
• Screw-based rising cage clamp wire termination
• Side entry interlocking feature

The substitute part 1-282837-6 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, Buchanan series) meets all these core functional requirements, enabling direct substitution in applications where these specifications are mandatory. Differences in wire gauge range, contact material composition, torque specifications, and color do not prevent functional equivalence when the application requirements fall within the overlapping specifications of both parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ESLM16200 and 1-282837-6 are active production components with current compliance certifications. The ESLM16200 carries RoHS Compliant status, while the 1-282837-6 carries ROHS3 Compliant status, representing the current regulatory standard. Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level) and carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Wire gauge requirements within the overlapping 16-28 AWG range
• Screw torque specifications (0.5 Nm vs. 0.68 Nm) as determined by assembly equipment and process requirements
• Packaging format preference (Tray vs. Bulk)
• Supplier availability and lead time considerations
• Contact material preference (Copper Alloy vs. Brass) if corrosion resistance in specific environments is a factor

Both parts satisfy the core electrical and mechanical requirements for 16-position, 5.08mm pitch, 300V/14.6A terminal block applications with through-hole mounting and side-entry screw termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-282837-6 be used as a direct replacement for the ESLM16200 in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications where wire gauges fall within the 16-28 AWG overlapping range. The 16-position configuration, 5.08mm pitch, 300V/14.6A ratings, through-hole mounting, and screw-based rising cage clamp termination are identical. Verify that your application does not require the 14-15 AWG wire gauge capability exclusive to the ESLM16200.

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

A: The ESLM16200 specifies 0.5 Nm (4.4 Lb-In) while the 1-282837-6 specifies 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In). These values represent the recommended tightening torque for the screw terminals. If your assembly process uses automated torque-controlled equipment, verify that the equipment can accommodate the substitute part's torque specification.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues with PCB footprints?

A: Both parts share identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (16), and through-hole mounting type. PCB footprints designed for the ESLM16200 are compatible with the 1-282837-6 without modification.

Q: Does the difference in housing color affect electrical performance?

A: No. The ESLM16200 is black while the 1-282837-6 is green. Color is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

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

A: ROHS3 represents the current version of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive with updated substance restrictions. Both certifications indicate compliance with hazardous substance limitations; ROHS3 is the current standard. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: Can I mix ESLM16200 and 1-282837-6 parts in the same assembly?

A: Yes, provided all wire gauges used fall within the 16-28 AWG overlapping range and your assembly process can accommodate both torque specifications (0.5 Nm and 0.68 Nm). Mixing is functionally compatible but may complicate assembly documentation and inventory management.
