TE Connectivity 4PCV-08-006 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 4PCV-08-006 is an 8-circuit barrier block connector with 0.325" (8.26mm) pitch spacing, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This terminal block features screw termination with a captive plate on the top and PC pin connections on the bottom. The component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS Compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent terminal blocks share the same core functional parameters: 8 circuits, 0.325" pitch, 20A current rating, through-hole mounting, and compatible wire gauge specifications. Alternative models may be required due to inventory availability, specific voltage requirements, or operational temperature range needs.

The identified substitute parts meet all critical matching parameters while accommodating variations in secondary specifications based on application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

4PCV-08-006 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors)

This is the primary reference part. It is Active product status with RoHS Compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The component features 3-wall barrier construction with captive plate screw termination. Operating temperature is rated to 105°C with 150V voltage specification. Zinc-plated steel terminals provide standard corrosion resistance. This configuration is suitable for general-purpose barrier block applications with standard environmental conditions.

A102208 (Eaton - Electronics Division)

This substitute is Active product status with ROHS3 Compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The Magnum® A1000 series features 2-wall barrier construction with standard screw termination (without captive plate). Voltage rating is elevated to 250V, and operating temperature range extends to -40°C, providing broader environmental capability. Zinc-plated steel terminals match the primary part. This configuration is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage tolerance and extended low-temperature operation. The absence of a captive plate represents a design variation that may affect installation procedures.

OSTYK33108030 (On Shore Technology Inc.)

This substitute is Active product status with ROHS3 Compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The OSTYK33 series features 3-wall barrier construction with captive plate screw termination, matching the primary part's mechanical design. Voltage rating is elevated to 300V, and operating temperature range extends to -40°C. Wire gauge acceptance is expanded to 12-22 AWG. Nickel-plated steel terminals provide enhanced corrosion resistance compared to zinc plating. This configuration is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage tolerance, extended low-temperature operation, and finer wire gauge accommodation.

All three parts share identical circuit count, pitch spacing, current rating, and through-hole mounting specifications. Selection between alternatives depends on specific voltage requirements, temperature operating range, and termination style preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes a terminal block an acceptable substitute for the 4PCV-08-006?

A: An acceptable substitute must maintain 8 circuits at 0.325" (8.26mm) pitch, support 20A current rating, feature through-hole mounting with PC pin bottom termination, accept 14-22 AWG wire gauge, and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The barrier block type and screw termination method are essential functional characteristics.

Q: Can the A102208 replace the 4PCV-08-006 in all applications?

A: The A102208 is functionally compatible for applications where the 2-wall barrier construction and standard screw termination (without captive plate) are acceptable. The higher 250V rating and extended -40°C to 105°C temperature range provide additional capability. Installation procedures may differ due to the absence of a captive plate.

Q: What is the primary difference between the OSTYK33108030 and the 4PCV-08-006?

A: Both parts share 3-wall barrier construction and captive plate termination. The OSTYK33108030 provides higher voltage rating (300V versus 150V), extended low-temperature operation (-40°C versus no lower limit specified), expanded wire gauge range (12-22 AWG versus 14-22 AWG), and nickel-plated terminals for enhanced corrosion resistance.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 4PCV-08-006 is RoHS Compliant. Both A102208 and OSTYK33108030 are ROHS3 Compliant, representing the current RoHS directive version. All three parts meet RoHS requirements.

Q: Does barrier type affect substitution compatibility?

A: Barrier type (2-wall versus 3-wall) affects circuit isolation and electrical performance characteristics but does not prevent substitution if other core parameters match. The 2-wall barrier in the A102208 provides adequate isolation for standard applications, while 3-wall barriers in the 4PCV-08-006 and OSTYK33108030 provide enhanced isolation. Selection depends on application-specific isolation requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the captive plate in the top termination?

A: The captive plate secures the screw during installation and prevents loss during assembly. The 4PCV-08-006 and OSTYK33108030 include captive plates, while the A102208 uses standard screws without this feature. This affects installation procedures but does not impact electrical performance.

Q: Can the OSTYK33108030 accommodate smaller wire gauges than the 4PCV-08-006?

A: Yes. The OSTYK33108030 accepts 12-22 AWG wire, while the 4PCV-08-006 accepts 14-22 AWG. The OSTYK33108030 can accommodate 12 AWG wire, which the primary part cannot. This expanded range provides flexibility for applications requiring heavier gauge conductors.

Q: What is the difference between zinc and nickel terminal screw finishes?

A: Both zinc and nickel finishes provide corrosion resistance on steel terminals. Nickel plating (used in OSTYK33108030) typically offers enhanced corrosion resistance in harsh environments compared to zinc plating (used in 4PCV-08-006 and A102208). Selection depends on environmental exposure conditions.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: Yes. The 4PCV-08-006 has 880 pieces in stock, A102208 has 1165 pieces, and OSTYK33108030 has 2554 pieces. Availability may influence selection timing and procurement strategy.

Q: What operating temperature range should be considered for substitute selection?

A: The 4PCV-08-006 is rated to 105°C maximum with no specified minimum. Both A102208 and OSTYK33108030 are rated -40°C to 105°C. For applications requiring low-temperature operation below ambient conditions, the substitute parts provide extended capability.
