TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-284513-8 Terminal Block Header Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-284513-8 is an 18-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on four sides, designed for 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch right-angle through-hole mounting applications. This component operates at 300 V UL and 11 A UL current rating with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 110°C. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1-284513-8 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility within the terminal block header category. The primary substitution criteria are:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• 18-position configuration
• 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing
• 90° right-angle orientation
• Through-hole solder termination
• 300 V UL voltage rating
• UL94 V-0 flammability compliance
• Tin contact mating finish

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Shrouding configuration (4-side to 2-side)
• Current rating (11 A to 8 A, where application permits)
• Operating temperature range (within specified limits)
• Contact material composition
• Housing material type

The On Shore Technology Inc. OSTVE183051 qualifies as a substitute based on matching core electrical specifications and mechanical form factor, with documented variations in shrouding design and current capacity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The On Shore Technology OSTVE183051 serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 1-284513-8 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both components maintain 300 V UL voltage rating and tin contact mating finish. The OSTVE183051 operates at 8 A UL current, which is lower than the original 11 A specification. Component selection must verify that application current requirements do not exceed 8 A.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts feature 18-position configuration with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch and 90° right-angle through-hole mounting. The OSTVE183051 employs 2-side shrouding versus the original 4-side shrouding, resulting in reduced EMI shielding. PCB layout and mechanical clearance must accommodate the increased contact tail length (0.177" versus 0.134") and insulation height (0.303" versus 0.287").

Compliance Status: The OSTVE183051 holds active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, providing long-term supply chain stability. The original part carries obsolete status with not-applicable RoHS classification.

Temperature Operating Range: The OSTVE183051 operates within -30°C to 105°C, which is narrower than the original -40°C to 110°C range. Applications requiring operation below -30°C or above 105°C require alternative component evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the On Shore Technology OSTVE183051 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1-284513-8 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement requires verification of three factors: (1) application current does not exceed 8 A UL, (2) operating temperature remains within -30°C to 105°C, and (3) PCB layout accommodates the increased contact tail length (0.177" versus 0.134") and insulation height (0.303" versus 0.287"). The reduced 2-side shrouding may affect EMI performance compared to the original 4-side design.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 4-side and 2-side shrouding configurations?

A: Shrouding configuration affects electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and mechanical protection. The original 1-284513-8 provides 4-side shrouding for enhanced EMI containment, while the OSTVE183051 provides 2-side shrouding with reduced shielding capability. Applications sensitive to EMI may require additional shielding measures when using the substitute part.

Q: Are there current rating implications when substituting from 11 A to 8 A?

A: Yes. The OSTVE183051 is rated for 8 A UL maximum current. Applications requiring sustained currents above 8 A cannot use this substitute. Circuit design must ensure all current paths through the terminal block remain below 8 A continuous operation.

Q: How do the contact materials differ between these parts?

A: The original 1-284513-8 uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the OSTVE183051 uses brass contacts. Both materials are tin-plated for mating surface finish. Brass contacts provide adequate electrical performance for standard applications; however, applications with specific contact material requirements should evaluate material compatibility.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to the OSTVE183051?

A: The OSTVE183051 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the original part packaging is not specified. Procurement processes must account for bulk packaging requirements and handling procedures.

Q: Does the OSTVE183051 meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. The OSTVE183051 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement in regulated industries. The original 1-284513-8 carries not-applicable RoHS status due to obsolete classification.
