8PCV-02-007 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 8PCV-02-007 is a 2-circuit barrier block connector manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. This through-hole mounted terminal block features a 0.438" (11.12mm) pitch and is rated for 30A at 600V, with wire gauge compatibility from 10-18 AWG. The connector utilizes screw termination on the top and PC pin termination on the bottom, with a tri-wall (3 wall) barrier design. The product is active and RoHS compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent barrier block connectors share the same core functional characteristics: 2-circuit configuration, through-hole mounting, tri-wall barrier design, 30A current rating, and compatible wire gauge ranges. Substitutes must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility within the specified parameter tolerances.

• Number of Rows: 1
• Current Rating: 30A
• Bottom Termination: PC Pin
• Barrier Type: 3 Wall (Tri)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Pitch: Within 0.005" (0.127mm) tolerance of 0.438" (11.12mm)
• Voltage Rating: Equal to or greater than 600V
• Wire Gauge: Must accommodate the 10-18 AWG range
• Top Termination: Screw-based termination methods
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C minimum
• Insulation Material: Thermoplastic or equivalent polymers
• Compliance: RoHS and UL94 V-0 certification required

The OSTYK55102030 from On Shore Technology Inc. meets the mandatory matching criteria with allowable variations in pitch tolerance and wire gauge range.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: 8PCV-02-007

The 8PCV-02-007 is the specified component and remains the first choice for new designs and applications requiring 600V operation. This part is active, RoHS compliant, and carries UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The 30A current rating and 10-18 AWG wire gauge compatibility support standard industrial control and power distribution applications.

Substitute Part: OSTYK55102030

The OSTYK55102030 serves as an equivalent substitute when the 8PCV-02-007 is unavailable. This part maintains functional compatibility through matching circuit count, current rating, barrier design, and mounting configuration. The OSTYK55102030 is active and ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 certification.

Key Differences Affecting Selection:

1. Voltage Rating: The 8PCV-02-007 is rated for 600V, while the OSTYK55102030 is rated for 300V. Applications requiring operation above 300V must use the 8PCV-02-007.

2. Pitch Tolerance: The OSTYK55102030 pitch of 0.433" (11.00mm) differs from the 8PCV-02-007 pitch of 0.438" (11.12mm) by 0.005". This variation is within standard mechanical tolerance for barrier block connectors and does not affect PCB layout compatibility for standard through-hole applications.

3. Wire Gauge Range: The OSTYK55102030 accommodates 10-22 AWG, providing broader wire size compatibility than the 8PCV-02-007 (10-18 AWG). Both parts support the 10-18 AWG range required by the primary specification.

4. Top Termination Feature: The OSTYK55102030 includes a captive plate on the screw termination, providing additional mechanical retention. The 8PCV-02-007 uses standard screws without this feature.

5. Operating Temperature: The 8PCV-02-007 operates to 120°C maximum, while the OSTYK55102030 operates to 105°C maximum. Applications requiring operation above 105°C require the 8PCV-02-007.

6. Insulation Material: The 8PCV-02-007 uses thermoplastic insulation, while the OSTYK55102030 specifies polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 requirements.

Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the OSTYK55102030 replace the 8PCV-02-007 in all applications?

A: The OSTYK55102030 is functionally equivalent for applications operating at 300V or below. Applications requiring 600V operation must use the 8PCV-02-007. Additionally, applications requiring operation above 105°C must use the 8PCV-02-007, which is rated to 120°C.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch difference between these parts?

A: The 8PCV-02-007 has a 0.438" (11.12mm) pitch, while the OSTYK55102030 has a 0.433" (11.00mm) pitch. This 0.005" difference is within standard mechanical tolerance for barrier block connectors and does not affect through-hole PCB mounting compatibility for typical industrial applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 8PCV-02-007 is RoHS compliant, and the OSTYK55102030 is ROHS3 compliant. Both meet current RoHS requirements.

Q: Do both parts have the same flammability rating?

A: Yes. Both the 8PCV-02-007 and OSTYK55102030 carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: What is the difference in wire gauge compatibility?

A: The 8PCV-02-007 accepts 10-18 AWG wire, while the OSTYK55102030 accepts 10-22 AWG wire. Both parts support the 10-18 AWG range. The OSTYK55102030 provides additional flexibility for smaller gauge conductors (19-22 AWG).

Q: What does the captive plate feature on the OSTYK55102030 provide?

A: The captive plate on the OSTYK55102030 screw termination provides mechanical retention of the screw, preventing accidental loss during assembly or maintenance. The 8PCV-02-007 uses standard screws without this feature.
