EDZ960/4 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EDZ960/4 is a 4-position terminal block plug manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc., designed for free-hanging (in-line) applications with female sockets and 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch spacing. This component is classified as an active product with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Alternative models may be required due to inventory constraints, application-specific wire gauge requirements, or sourcing preferences while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EDZ960/4 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Voltage rating (300 V UL), operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C), and contact material properties
• Mechanical Compatibility: 4-position configuration, 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch, female socket type, screw termination, and free-hanging mounting
• Regulatory Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected status
• Wire Gauge Accommodation: Support for wire gauges within or overlapping the 12-28 AWG range

The substitute part OSTTJ040150 maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility through matching voltage ratings, pitch spacing, position count, termination method, and mounting configuration. Variations in wire gauge range (12-24 AWG vs. 12-28 AWG), contact material (Brass vs. Copper Tin Alloy), and housing material (Brass vs. Polyamide) represent acceptable trade-offs within the terminal block plug category, provided the application wire gauge falls within the overlapping 12-24 AWG range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both EDZ960/4 and OSTTJ040150 are active products with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component deployment. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific wire gauge requirements:

• EDZ960/4: Select when application wire gauge extends to 28 AWG or when Polyamide housing and Copper Tin Alloy contacts are specified requirements.
• OSTTJ040150: Select when application wire gauge is 12-24 AWG and higher inventory availability (2544 pcs vs. 820 pcs) is advantageous. The Brass contact and housing materials provide alternative material properties within the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Both parts maintain identical voltage ratings, pitch spacing, position configuration, termination method, and operating temperature range, ensuring functional interchangeability within the stated wire gauge overlap of 12-24 AWG.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OSTTJ040150 replace EDZ960/4 in all applications?

A: OSTTJ040150 is compatible with EDZ960/4 applications where wire gauge does not exceed 24 AWG. If your application requires 25-28 AWG wire accommodation, EDZ960/4 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are wire gauge range (EDZ960/4 supports 12-28 AWG; OSTTJ040150 supports 12-24 AWG), contact material (Copper Tin Alloy vs. Brass), housing material (Polyamide vs. Brass), and wire strip length (6mm vs. 7-8mm). Electrical ratings and mechanical configuration remain identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both EDZ960/4 and OSTTJ040150 are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component use.

Q: What is the pitch spacing for these terminal blocks?

A: Both parts feature 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch spacing with 4-position, single-level configuration, ensuring mechanical compatibility in applications designed for this standard spacing.

Q: Do these parts support the same voltage rating?

A: Yes, both parts are rated for 300 V UL and operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 105°C, providing equivalent electrical performance.

Q: What screw torque specifications apply?

A: EDZ960/4 specifies 0.5 Nm (4.4 Lb-In) screw torque, while OSTTJ040150 specifies 0.56 Nm (5.0 Lb-In). Consult application documentation for torque requirements specific to your installation.
