Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ED950/16 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• 16-position configuration with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing
• Female socket type for plug mating compatibility
• Free-hanging in-line mounting orientation
• Screw termination method for wire connection
• 300V UL voltage rating minimum
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating for material safety
• ROHS3 compliance for environmental standards
• Active product status for ongoing availability

The identified substitutes (OSTTJ167150 and 1-796640-6) maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters while permitting variations in secondary specifications such as wire gauge range, operating temperature limits, contact materials, and torque specifications, provided these variations remain within acceptable engineering tolerances for the intended application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, ensuring regulatory alignment for industrial and commercial applications.

ED950/16 (Primary Part): Baseline specification with 12-22 AWG wire gauge range, -30°C to 105°C operating temperature, and 0.5 Nm screw torque. Suitable for standard applications within specified temperature and wire gauge parameters.

OSTTJ167150 (On Shore Technology Inc. Substitute): Extended wire gauge range (12-30 AWG, 0.34-2.5mm²) and broader operating temperature (-40°C to 115°C). Screw torque specification of 0.56 Nm represents a minor increase from the primary part. Current rating not specified; applications requiring explicit 15A UL current rating should reference primary part or TE Connectivity alternative.

1-796640-6 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Substitute): Manufacturer-recommended alternative with widest wire gauge range (12-30 AWG, 0.05-3mm²), extended operating temperature (-40°C to 110°C), and highest screw torque specification (0.79 Nm). Features rising cage clamp termination and side stacking capability. Maintains 15A UL current rating and M3 screw size. Contact mating finish specified as Tin; housing material is Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6.

Selection between substitutes depends on application-specific requirements for wire gauge range, operating temperature extremes, and termination torque specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OSTTJ167150 directly replace ED950/16 in all applications?

A: OSTTJ167150 maintains the critical parameters of 16-position configuration, 5.00mm pitch, female socket type, free-hanging mounting, screw termination, 300V UL rating, and UL94 V-0 flammability. The extended wire gauge range (12-30 AWG versus 12-22 AWG) and broader operating temperature (-40°C to 115°C versus -30°C to 105°C) provide expanded capability. However, current rating is not specified for OSTTJ167150; applications requiring explicit 15A UL current rating should confirm compatibility with the manufacturer.

Q: What is the primary difference between ED950/16 and 1-796640-6?

A: Both parts share 16-position, 5.00mm pitch, female socket, free-hanging mounting, 300V UL rating, 15A current, and UL94 V-0 flammability. The 1-796640-6 features rising cage clamp termination (versus standard screw), higher screw torque (0.79 Nm versus 0.5 Nm), wider wire gauge range (0.05-3mm² versus 2.5mm²), and side stacking capability. Housing material differs: 1-796640-6 uses Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6 versus Polyamide (PA) Nylon in ED950/16.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. ED950/16, OSTTJ167150, and 1-796640-6 are all ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited). All three maintain UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings.

Q: Which substitute supports the widest operating temperature range?

A: OSTTJ167150 supports -40°C to 115°C, the widest range among the three parts. ED950/16 operates -30°C to 105°C, and 1-796640-6 operates -40°C to 110°C.

Q: What wire gauge ranges are supported by each part?

A: ED950/16 supports 12-22 AWG (2.5mm²). OSTTJ167150 supports 12-30 AWG (0.34-2.5mm²). 1-796640-6 supports 12-30 AWG (0.05-3mm²), offering the broadest range.

Q: Does screw torque specification affect substitution compatibility?

A: Screw torque specifications (ED950/16: 0.5 Nm, OSTTJ167150: 0.56 Nm, 1-796640-6: 0.79 Nm) reflect termination design differences. Higher torque in 1-796640-6 correlates with rising cage clamp termination. Application-specific torque requirements should be confirmed with circuit design specifications before substitution.
