Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The permitted substitute must match or exceed the key electrical and mechanical specifications of DS50-OR. Criteria used for grouping include:

• Number of Positions
• Terminal Width
• Wire Gauge Range (AWG & mm²)
• Current Rating (IEC/UL)
• Voltage Rating (IEC/UL)
• Material and Color
• Termination Style
• Stripping Length
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL)
• ECCN/HTSUS codes

These parameters are directly provided and are required for evaluating equivalency in the terminal block component category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DS50-OR is Obsolete. Substitute selection must be based on direct parameter equivalency. The ATB6F from Amphenol PCD matches all critical electrical and mechanical specifications, including current rating, voltage rating (UL), number of positions, terminal width, insulation materials, color, stripping length, and compliance (RoHS, ECCN, HTSUS). The moisture sensitivity ratings also align. All listed parameters are compatible for substitution within the terminal block context.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What parameters are required for a substitute terminal block connector for DS50-OR?
A: Substitution requires matching key electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, wire gauge compatibility, material specifications, and certification codes provided in the datasheet.

Q: Is ATB6F directly interchangeable with DS50-OR for the same wire ranges?
A: Both connectors support feed-through for 2 positions and the same maximum current and voltage ratings, with ATB6F supporting a slightly broader AWG range. Compatibility is confirmed by the matching specifications.

Q: Do packaging differences affect engineering substitution?
A: The input parameters do not specify packaging as a critical substitution factor for this category. Both products are available new and in compliance with MSL 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Are product certifications and compliance codes aligned between DS50-OR and ATB6F?
A: Both terminal blocks list ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.8000, ensuring equivalent compliance for global sourcing and integration.

Q: What color, material, and terminal width must be matched for substitution?
A: Both parts are orange, utilize Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6 insulation, and have an 8.0mm terminal width, meeting all specified requirements for direct interchange in assembly.
