ED3001/3-KD Terminal Block Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ED3001/3-KD is a 3-position wire-to-board terminal block manufactured by On-Shore Technology, designed for through-hole PCB mounting with a 45° angled mating orientation. This component operates at 300V with a 16A current rating and accommodates wire gauges from 14-28 AWG using screwless push-in spring termination. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance can be maintained across the specified parameter range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ED3001/3-KD is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• 3 positions per level
• 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing
• Through-hole mounting configuration
• 300V voltage rating
• Screwless push-in spring wire termination
• ROHS3 compliance
• Operating temperature range of -30°C ~ 105°C or broader

Allowable Variation Criteria:

• Current rating: Substitute must meet or exceed 16A minimum
• Wire gauge range: Substitute must accommodate 14-28 AWG or broader range
• Mating orientation: Angled configurations are functionally equivalent
• Housing material: Thermoplastic and polyamide materials are interchangeable
• Contact plating material: Copper and brass are acceptable alternatives

The OSTHT030080 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ED3001/3-KD and OSTHT030080 maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. Selection between these parts should be based on application current requirements and available inventory.

The ED3001/3-KD provides a 16A current rating and is suitable for applications requiring maximum current capacity within the 5mm pitch terminal block category. The OSTHT030080 operates at 15A and represents a functionally equivalent alternative where current demand does not exceed this threshold. Both components support identical voltage ratings (300V), operating temperature ranges (-30°C ~ 105°C), and wire termination methods (screwless push-in spring).

The OSTHT030080 accommodates a broader wire gauge range (12-28 AWG versus 14-28 AWG), providing additional flexibility for applications using 12 AWG conductors. Housing material differences (polyamide versus thermoplastic) and contact plating variations (copper versus brass) do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in standard PCB mounting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OSTHT030080 be used as a direct replacement for ED3001/3-KD in all applications?

A: OSTHT030080 is functionally equivalent for applications where current demand does not exceed 15A. The ED3001/3-KD is rated for 16A and should be used when maximum current capacity is required. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are compatible.

Q: What is the difference between the mating orientations listed for these parts?

A: ED3001/3-KD specifies 45° (135°) angle with board, while OSTHT030080 lists "Angled" orientation. Both configurations provide equivalent angled mounting geometry for through-hole PCB applications and are mechanically compatible.

Q: Are the different housing materials (Polyamide vs. Thermoplastic) significant for PCB mounting?

A: No. Both polyamide and thermoplastic materials meet the same thermal and electrical requirements for this product category. Material selection does not affect performance in standard through-hole mounting applications.

Q: Does the wire gauge range difference affect compatibility?

A: OSTHT030080 supports 12-28 AWG while ED3001/3-KD supports 14-28 AWG. This means OSTHT030080 can accommodate 12 AWG conductors, providing broader application flexibility. Both parts fully support the 14-28 AWG range.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same voltage and temperature operating conditions?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 300V operation and -30°C ~ 105°C temperature range. They are interchangeable for these environmental parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the contact plating material difference (Copper vs. Brass)?

A: Both copper and brass plating provide adequate electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for terminal block applications. The difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in standard PCB mounting configurations.

Q: Do both parts have the same regulatory compliance status?

A: Yes. Both ED3001/3-KD and OSTHT030080 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. They meet identical regulatory requirements.
