Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 430500-08-0 qualifies as a direct substitute for the GFTQAX-08 based on the following critical parameters:

• Number of Circuits: Both parts provide 8 circuits
• Pitch Configuration: Both maintain 0.438" (11.12mm) spacing
• Current Rating: Both rated at 20A
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Both accept 12-22 AWG conductors
• Termination Configuration: Both feature screw top termination and quick connect (0.250") insulated bottom termination
• Barrier Type: Both employ 2 Wall (Dual) barrier construction
• Mounting Type: Both support chassis and panel mounting
• Terminal Block Type: Both are barrier block connectors

The 430500-08-0 is manufactured by the same supplier (Curtis Industries) and maintains functional and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete GFTQAX-08.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 430500-08-0 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete GFTQAX-08. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 8-circuit configuration, 0.438" pitch, 20A current rating, 12-22 AWG wire gauge compatibility, and dual-wall barrier construction.

The 430500-08-0 offers enhanced compliance status with ROHS3 certification and an active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The insulation material differs (polypropylene versus thermoplastic), but both materials are suitable for the specified application parameters. The 430500-08-0 includes additional specifications (600V voltage rating, 105°C operating temperature, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and zinc-finished terminal screws) that provide expanded operational capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 430500-08-0 directly replace the GFTQAX-08 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical circuit count (8), pitch spacing (0.438"), current rating (20A), wire gauge range (12-22 AWG), and termination configurations. Mechanical mounting and electrical performance are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these parts?

A: The GFTQAX-08 uses thermoplastic insulation, while the 430500-08-0 uses polypropylene (PP). Both materials are suitable for the specified application and operating conditions.

Q: Why does the 430500-08-0 have additional specifications not listed for the GFTQAX-08?

A: The 430500-08-0 is an active product with complete technical documentation. The GFTQAX-08, being obsolete, has limited specification data available. The additional parameters (600V voltage rating, 105°C operating temperature, UL94 V-0 flammability rating) represent the full capability of the substitute component.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The GFTQAX-08 packaging is not specified in available data. The 430500-08-0 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the 430500-08-0?

A: The 430500-08-0 is ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carries UL94 V-0 flammability rating. It is classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.90.4000.
