ESLM18200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ESLM18200 is an 18-position wire-to-board terminal block manufactured by Amphenol PCD, designed for horizontal PCB mounting with 0.200" (5.08mm) 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 standardized pitch and current-carrying capacity. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, regional sourcing constraints, or specific application requirements aligned with equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ESLM18200 has one identified substitute: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1-282837-8 (Buchanan series). This substitution is valid based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• 18 positions per level maintained
• 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing preserved
• Horizontal with board mating orientation identical
• 14.6 A current rating matched
• 300 V voltage rating matched
• Through hole mounting type consistent
• Screw-based rising cage clamp termination method identical
• Polyamide (PA66) housing material equivalent
• Side interlocking feature present

Variations between the main part and substitute exist in wire gauge range, contact material composition, torque specification, and color designation. These variations do not prevent functional substitution when the application parameters fall within the overlapping specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ESLM18200 and 1-282837-8 maintain Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. The ESLM18200 carries RoHS Compliance certification, while the 1-282837-8 carries ROHS3 Compliance, representing an enhanced regulatory standard. Both components are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Selection between these parts should be based on wire gauge requirements within the application. The ESLM18200 accommodates 14-30 AWG wire, providing broader gauge compatibility. The 1-282837-8 accommodates 16-28 AWG wire, which represents a subset of the main part's range. Applications utilizing 14 or 15 AWG wire require the ESLM18200. Applications within the 16-28 AWG range are compatible with either part.

The ROHS3 compliance of the 1-282837-8 may be advantageous for applications subject to enhanced environmental regulations. Both parts are ECCN EAR99 classified and share identical HTSUS coding (8536.90.4000).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-282837-8 be used as a direct replacement for the ESLM18200 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible when the application wire gauge falls within the 16-28 AWG range. Applications requiring 14 or 15 AWG wire compatibility must use the ESLM18200, as the 1-282837-8 does not support these gauges.

Q: Are the pitch and position count identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 18 positions per level with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing. PCB layout and connector footprints are compatible.

Q: What is the difference in torque specification between these parts?

A: The ESLM18200 specifies 0.5 Nm (4.4 Lb-In) screw torque, while the 1-282837-8 specifies 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In). Assembly procedures must follow the torque specification of the selected part to ensure proper clamp force and electrical contact.

Q: Do these parts have different operating temperature ranges?

A: The ESLM18200 specifies -40°C to 110°C operating temperature. The 1-282837-8 does not provide an operating temperature specification in the available data. Applications with defined temperature requirements should reference the ESLM18200 specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The ESLM18200 is supplied in Tray packaging, while the 1-282837-8 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Procurement and inventory management procedures may differ accordingly.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact materials?

A: The ESLM18200 uses Copper Alloy contacts with Tin plating. The 1-282837-8 uses Brass contacts with Tin plating. Both material systems provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for the specified voltage and current ratings.
