EDZ1100/8 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EDZ1100/8 is an 8-position terminal block plug manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc., designed for free-hanging (in-line) applications with female sockets and 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing. This component is classified as an active product with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Alternative models become necessary when inventory constraints occur, when specific wire gauge requirements differ from standard specifications, or when contact material preferences necessitate substitution within the same functional category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EDZ1100/8 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Must be an 8-position terminal block plug with female sockets
• Pitch Spacing: Must maintain 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch for mechanical compatibility
• Termination Method: Must use screw termination
• Mounting Configuration: Must support free-hanging (in-line) installation
• Electrical Ratings: Must meet or exceed 300 V UL voltage rating
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Must accommodate wire gauges within or overlapping the 10-22 AWG range
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -30°C ~ 105°C operational envelope
• Regulatory Compliance: Must maintain RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The OSTTS08515A qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters, with documented variations in wire gauge range, contact material composition, and screw torque specifications that remain within acceptable engineering tolerances for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the EDZ1100/8 and OSTTS08515A maintain active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, qualifying both for current design implementations. Selection between these parts should be based on the following provided specifications:

EDZ1100/8 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring copper tin alloy contact material
• Wire gauges in the 10-22 AWG range with emphasis on 10-11 AWG applications
• Screw torque specification of 0.5 Nm (4.4 Lb-In)
• Polyamide (PA) nylon housing material requirement

OSTTS08515A Selection Criteria:

• Applications accommodating brass contact material
• Wire gauges in the 12-24 AWG range, particularly for 23-24 AWG applications
• Screw torque specification of 0.4 Nm (3.5 Lb-In)
• Brass housing material compatibility
• Extended wire gauge range flexibility (0.34-2.5mm²)

Both parts share identical electrical ratings, temperature operating range, pitch spacing, and flammability certification, ensuring functional equivalence within their respective parameter boundaries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OSTTS08515A directly replace EDZ1100/8 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible when the application wire gauge falls within the overlapping range of 12-22 AWG. Applications requiring 10-11 AWG wire gauges must use EDZ1100/8. The screw torque difference (0.5 Nm vs. 0.4 Nm) and contact material variation (copper tin alloy vs. brass) must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact materials?

A: EDZ1100/8 uses copper tin alloy contacts while OSTTS08515A uses brass contacts. Both materials are suitable for the 300 V UL rating and -30°C ~ 105°C operating temperature range. Material selection should align with application-specific corrosion resistance, conductivity, and environmental exposure requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. Both EDZ1100/8 and OSTTS08515A maintain active product status with current manufacturing availability and full RoHS3 compliance, making either suitable for new design implementations within their specified parameter boundaries.

Q: What wire gauge range overlap exists between these parts?

A: The overlapping wire gauge range is 12-22 AWG (0.34-2.5mm²). Applications using wire gauges outside this overlap require the specific part designed for that range.

Q: How do the screw torque specifications differ?

A: EDZ1100/8 specifies 0.5 Nm (4.4 Lb-In) while OSTTS08515A specifies 0.4 Nm (3.5 Lb-In). Assembly procedures must use the torque value specified for the selected part to ensure proper contact pressure and electrical performance.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations?

A: EDZ1100/8 has 987 pieces in stock while OSTTS08515A has 1393 pieces in stock. Both are supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory availability should be confirmed at time of procurement.
