Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 282863-2 terminal block is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Positions Per Level: 2
• Mating Orientation: Vertical with Board
• Wire Termination: Screw - Rising Cage Clamp
• Screw Thread: M3
• Voltage Rating: 300 V minimum
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 12-30 AWG

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm) or 0.200" (5.08mm) are both acceptable within terminal block design standards
• Current Rating: Substitute parts rated at 20 A are acceptable for applications not requiring the full 24 A capacity of the original part
• Product Status: Active substitutes are preferred over obsolete originals for ongoing production

The identified substitutes OSTVJ020150 and OSTVJ022150 satisfy all mandatory matching parameters. OSTVJ022150 provides exact pitch matching at 0.200" (5.08mm), while OSTVJ020150 offers a 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch variant suitable for compatible PCB layouts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

OSTVJ022150 Primary Selection: OSTVJ022150 is the preferred substitute for direct replacement applications. This part maintains exact pitch specification at 0.200" (5.08mm), ensuring compatibility with existing PCB layouts designed for the 282863-2. Both parts feature identical screw thread specifications (M3), wire gauge acceptance (12-30 AWG), and voltage rating (300 V). OSTVJ022150 holds active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, providing regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards.

OSTVJ020150 Alternative Selection: OSTVJ020150 serves as an alternative for applications where PCB layout modification is acceptable. The 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch represents a minor dimensional variation from the original 0.200" (5.08mm) specification. This substitute maintains all critical functional parameters including screw termination, M3 thread, wire gauge range, and voltage rating. OSTVJ020150 also provides active status with ROHS3 and REACH compliance.

Current Rating Consideration: Both substitute parts are rated at 20 A, compared to the original 24 A rating. Applications requiring the full 24 A capacity must evaluate whether the 20 A substitute rating meets circuit requirements. For applications operating below 20 A, both substitutes provide adequate current handling capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OSTVJ022150 be used as a direct replacement for 282863-2 without PCB modification?

A: Yes. OSTVJ022150 maintains the identical 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch specification, M3 screw thread, and through-hole mounting configuration as the 282863-2. No PCB layout changes are required for this substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between OSTVJ020150 and OSTVJ022150?

A: The pitch spacing differs between the two parts. OSTVJ020150 features 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, while OSTVJ022150 features 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch. OSTVJ022150 matches the original 282863-2 pitch specification exactly.

Q: Are the substitute parts compatible with the same wire gauges as the original 282863-2?

A: Yes. Both OSTVJ020150 and OSTVJ022150 accept wire gauges from 12-30 AWG, identical to the original part specification.

Q: What is the impact of the reduced current rating on substitute parts?

A: The substitute parts are rated at 20 A compared to the original 24 A rating. Applications must operate within the 20 A limit when using these substitutes. For circuits requiring current capacity above 20 A, these substitutes are not suitable.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both OSTVJ020150 and OSTVJ022150 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: Is PCB modification required to use OSTVJ020150 instead of OSTVJ022150?

A: Yes. OSTVJ020150 operates at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, requiring PCB layout adjustment from the original 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch specification. OSTVJ022150 eliminates this requirement through exact pitch matching.

Q: What is the screw torque specification for the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts specify 0.4 Nm (3.5 Lb-In) screw torque, compared to 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In) for the original 282863-2. Assembly procedures must reflect this reduced torque specification.
