ESLM24200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ESLM24200 is a 24-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 product is currently active in production and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for industrial control, power distribution, and signal routing applications where reliable wire-to-board connections are required. Equivalent parts may be necessary due to inventory availability, regional supplier preferences, or specific packaging requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ESLM24200 can be substituted with equivalent terminal blocks that maintain the following critical parameters: 24-position configuration, 5.08mm pitch, horizontal board-mounted orientation, 300V voltage rating, 14.6A current capacity, through-hole mounting, and screw-based rising cage clamp termination with side entry interlocking features. These parameters define the mechanical and electrical compatibility envelope for direct substitution. Variations in wire gauge acceptance range, contact material composition, torque specifications, and color coding do not prevent functional equivalence when the core electrical and mechanical characteristics remain within specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ESLM24200 and 2-282837-4 meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for 24-position, 5.08mm pitch terminal block applications. The ESLM24200 maintains RoHS compliance and supports a broader wire gauge range (14-30 AWG) compared to the TE Connectivity substitute (16-28 AWG). The 2-282837-4 achieves ROHS3 compliance and is subject to REACH regulations, making it suitable for applications with enhanced environmental and regulatory requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on wire gauge requirements, packaging format preference (tray versus bulk), and regulatory compliance mandates specific to the end application. Both components are active products with confirmed inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2-282837-4 be used in place of the ESLM24200 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided that the wire gauge range of 16-28 AWG is compatible with your application. The ESLM24200 accepts 14-30 AWG, so designs using 14-15 AWG or 29-30 AWG wires require the original part. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the tray and bulk packaging options?

A: The ESLM24200 is supplied in tray packaging, while the 2-282837-4 is supplied in bulk packaging. Tray packaging provides individual compartmentalization for component protection during storage and handling. Bulk packaging reduces packaging material and cost but requires additional handling precautions. Functional performance is identical.

Q: Are there operating temperature differences between these parts?

A: The ESLM24200 specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 110°C. The 2-282837-4 does not provide an operating temperature specification in the available data. For applications requiring confirmed temperature performance across the full -40°C to 110°C range, the ESLM24200 is the specified choice.

Q: What is the significance of the contact material difference (Copper Alloy versus Brass)?

A: Both copper alloy and brass contacts are tin-plated and suitable for the specified 300V, 14.6A application. The material difference does not affect electrical performance or compatibility. Both materials provide equivalent corrosion resistance and conductivity for this terminal block category.

Q: How do the torque specifications differ between these parts?

A: The ESLM24200 specifies 0.5 Nm (4.4 Lb-In) screw torque, while the 2-282837-4 specifies 0.68 Nm (6 Lb-In). These differences reflect design variations in clamp geometry and screw thread specifications (M3 for the TE part). Each part must be terminated according to its respective torque specification to ensure proper contact pressure and reliability.
