Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

4PCV-08-008 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): Select this part when the application requires a 150V rated barrier block connector with zinc-plated terminal screws and support for chassis and panel mounting configurations. This part is RoHS Compliant and maintains active product status with established supply availability.

OSTYK33108030 (On Shore Technology Inc.): Select this part as a functional substitute when the application permits a 300V rated barrier block connector. This part offers extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), ROHS3 compliance, and nickel-plated terminal screws. The OSTYK33108030 is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage margin or wider temperature operating range while maintaining identical circuit count, pitch, current rating, and termination style. This part is REACH Unaffected and maintains higher inventory availability (2554 pieces in stock).

Both parts share identical mechanical footprint, circuit configuration, and primary electrical characteristics (20A current rating, 12-22 AWG wire gauge, 8-circuit configuration at 0.325" pitch). Selection between these parts depends on specific application voltage requirements, temperature operating range, and mounting configuration needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the OSTYK33108030 be used as a direct replacement for the 4PCV-08-008?

A: The OSTYK33108030 is functionally compatible with the 4PCV-08-008 for applications operating at or below 150V. Both parts share identical circuit count (8), pitch (0.325"), current rating (20A), wire gauge range (12-22 AWG), and termination methods. The OSTYK33108030 has a higher voltage rating (300V) and extended temperature range, making it suitable for the same applications and additional higher-voltage applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two barrier block connectors?

A: The primary differences are: (1) voltage rating—4PCV-08-008 is rated at 150V while OSTYK33108030 is rated at 300V; (2) operating temperature range—4PCV-08-008 operates to 105°C while OSTYK33108030 operates from -40°C to 105°C; (3) terminal screw finish—4PCV-08-008 uses zinc plating while OSTYK33108030 uses nickel plating; (4) mounting type—4PCV-08-008 supports chassis, panel, and through hole mounting while OSTYK33108030 supports through hole mounting only; (5) RoHS certification level—4PCV-08-008 is RoHS Compliant while OSTYK33108030 is ROHS3 Compliant.

Q: Are both parts UL94 V-0 rated?

A: Yes, both the 4PCV-08-008 and OSTYK33108030 carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, indicating equivalent flame retardant performance.

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility for both parts?

A: Both parts accept wire gauges from 12-22 AWG, providing identical wire termination capability.

Q: Do both parts have the same physical footprint?

A: Yes, both parts have identical mechanical specifications: 8 circuits, 0.325" (8.26mm) pitch, single row configuration, and 3-wall barrier type. They share the same physical footprint and can be used interchangeably in PCB layouts and mechanical assemblies.

Q: What is the current rating for both connectors?

A: Both the 4PCV-08-008 and OSTYK33108030 are rated for 20A continuous current.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity concerns with these parts?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life and no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.

Q: Which part should be selected for applications requiring extended temperature range?

A: The OSTYK33108030 should be selected for applications requiring operation below 0°C, as it supports the extended temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The 4PCV-08-008 operates only to 105°C maximum.

Q: What is the difference in terminal screw finish between these parts?

A: The 4PCV-08-008 uses zinc-plated steel terminal screws, while the OSTYK33108030 uses nickel-plated steel terminal screws. Nickel plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to zinc plating.
