EDSTLZ965/6 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EDSTLZ965/6 is a 6-position terminal block header manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc., designed for vertical solder mounting applications. This component features male pins with 4-side shrouding and a 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch configuration. The part is currently active in production with 685 units in stock. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply availability, lead time considerations, or specific application requirements that demand different mounting or environmental specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 796980-6 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) qualifies as an equivalent based on the following matching parameters:

• Number of Positions: 6
• Pitch: 0.300" (7.62mm)
• Header Orientation: Vertical
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side)
• Voltage - UL: 300 V
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Product Status: Active

The primary difference between the main part and substitute is the mounting type: the EDSTLZ965/6 uses solder mounting, while the 796980-6 uses through-hole mounting. This distinction affects PCB integration methodology but does not alter the electrical interface or connector compatibility for applications where through-hole mounting is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the EDSTLZ965/6 and 796980-6 maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, qualifying them for equivalent use in applications requiring 6-position, 7.62mm pitch terminal block headers with 300V UL rating and vertical orientation.

Selection between these parts depends on PCB mounting methodology: the EDSTLZ965/6 is specified for solder mounting applications, while the 796980-6 is designed for through-hole mounting. The 796980-6 provides an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 110°C versus -30°C ~ 105°C) and increased insulation height (0.472" versus 0.154"), which may be advantageous in applications requiring greater thermal margin or increased creepage distance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 796980-6 be used as a direct replacement for the EDSTLZ965/6?

A: Electrical compatibility is confirmed based on matching pitch, position count, voltage rating, and shrouded male pin configuration. However, the mounting method differs: the EDSTLZ965/6 requires solder mounting while the 796980-6 requires through-hole mounting. PCB design must accommodate the appropriate mounting type.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on: number of positions (6), pitch (0.300"/7.62mm), header orientation (vertical), connector type (male pins, shrouded 4-side), and voltage rating (300V UL). Mounting type and physical dimensions are secondary considerations dependent on application requirements.

Q: Are there differences in contact tail length between these parts?

A: Yes. The EDSTLZ965/6 has a contact tail length of 0.154" (3.90mm), while the 796980-6 has 0.138" (3.50mm). This difference reflects the distinct mounting methodologies and must be considered during PCB layout.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and maintain active product status. Both are rated for 300V UL operation and support the same electrical interface specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height difference?

A: The 796980-6 has an insulation height of 0.472" (12.00mm) compared to 0.154" (3.90mm) for the EDSTLZ965/6. This increased height in the TE Connectivity part provides greater physical separation and may be relevant for applications requiring enhanced creepage or clearance specifications.
