ED950/10 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ED950/10 is a 10-position terminal block plug manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc., featuring female sockets with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing and 180° free-hanging in-line mounting. This component is actively produced and widely used in industrial control, automation, and power distribution applications where screw-terminated connections are required.

Substitute parts become necessary due to inventory availability, lead time constraints, manufacturing discontinuation, or specific application requirements that may be better served by alternative designs within the same functional category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ED950/10 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: All substitutes must maintain 10 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors.
• Connector Type: Female socket plugs with screw termination are required for direct replacement.
• Mounting Configuration: Free-hanging in-line orientation must be preserved.
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum voltage rating of 300 V UL and current capacity of 15 A UL are baseline requirements.
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Acceptable wire gauge ranges must overlap with or exceed the 12-22 AWG specification.
• Temperature Range: Operating temperature must support the application's thermal requirements.
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliance is mandatory for new designs; REACH status is noted for regulatory tracking.

The two substitute parts listed below meet these core criteria while offering variations in contact materials, wire gauge ranges, and temperature operating limits.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ED950/10 (Primary Part) Select this part when On Shore Technology Inc. inventory is available and the application operates within the -30°C to 105°C temperature range. This part is ROHS3 compliant and actively manufactured.

OSTTJ107150 (On Shore Technology Inc. Substitute) This substitute offers an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 115°C) and broader wire gauge acceptance (12-30 AWG, 0.34-2.5mm²), making it suitable for applications requiring lower temperature operation or smaller gauge wire compatibility. Both parts are from the same manufacturer and carry ROHS3 compliance. Note that current rating is not specified for this part; verify application requirements before selection.

1-796640-0 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Substitute) This part provides the widest wire gauge range (12-30 AWG, 0.05-3mm²) and extended temperature capability (-40°C to 110°C). The rising cage clamp termination style offers an alternative to standard screw termination. It includes side stacking features and tin contact mating finish. This part is RoHS compliant and carries REACH Affected status. Select this part when TE Connectivity supply chain is preferred or when the extended wire gauge range is required.

All three parts maintain 10-position, 5.00mm pitch configuration, 300 V UL voltage rating, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and free-hanging in-line mounting, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility within the terminal block ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OSTTJ107150 be used as a direct replacement for ED950/10? A: OSTTJ107150 maintains the same 10-position, 5.00mm pitch, female socket plug configuration and free-hanging mounting. Both are On Shore Technology Inc. products with ROHS3 compliance. The primary differences are extended temperature range (-40°C to 115°C versus -30°C to 105°C) and broader wire gauge acceptance. Current rating is not specified for OSTTJ107150; verify your application's current requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the screw termination in ED950/10 and the rising cage clamp in 1-796640-0? A: Both are screw-based termination methods. The ED950/10 uses standard screw termination, while 1-796640-0 uses a rising cage clamp design. The rising cage clamp provides an alternative clamping mechanism that may offer different insertion and extraction characteristics. Verify compatibility with your wire insertion tooling and assembly procedures.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same mating connectors? A: All three parts maintain the 10-position, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch female socket plug configuration. Mechanical compatibility with standard 5.00mm pitch header connectors is preserved. However, verify that your specific mating connector is rated for the contact materials used (copper in ED950/10, brass in OSTTJ107150, phosphor bronze in 1-796640-0).

Q: Which substitute should I select for high-temperature applications? A: OSTTJ107150 and 1-796640-0 both support extended temperature ranges (-40°C to 115°C and -40°C to 110°C respectively) compared to ED950/10 (-30°C to 105°C). Select based on your specific upper temperature limit and other application requirements such as wire gauge range and contact material compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact materials? A: ED950/10 uses copper contacts, OSTTJ107150 uses brass, and 1-796640-0 uses phosphor bronze. Contact material affects electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical durability. Verify that your application environment and electrical requirements are compatible with the selected contact material.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant? A: ED950/10 and OSTTJ107150 are ROHS3 compliant. 1-796640-0 is RoHS compliant. For new designs requiring ROHS3 certification, ED950/10 and OSTTJ107150 are the appropriate selections.
