OSTEB020150 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OSTEB020150 is a 2-position wire-to-board terminal block manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc., designed for horizontal PCB mounting with side entry configuration. This component features a 5mm (0.197") pitch and is rated for 20A at 300V, supporting wire gauges from 12-22 AWG. The part is currently active in production with 1134 units in stock. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply chain considerations, design revisions, or specific application requirements where compatible electrical and mechanical parameters are acceptable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the OSTEB020150 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (20A minimum), voltage rating (300V minimum), and wire gauge acceptance range must accommodate the original specification or be broader.

Mechanical Compatibility: Pitch (5.00mm), mating orientation (horizontal with board), mounting type (through hole), and wire termination method (screw-based cage clamp) must be identical.

Configuration: Number of positions per level (2) and number of levels (2) must match exactly.

Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature range must encompass or exceed -30°C to 105°C. RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status must be maintained.

The ED750/2 meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ED750/2 is a direct equivalent substitute for the OSTEB020150. Both parts are manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc., maintain identical electrical ratings (20A, 300V), mechanical configuration (2-position, 5mm pitch, through-hole), and environmental specifications (-30°C to 105°C). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

The ED750/2 offers an extended wire gauge acceptance range (12-30 AWG versus 12-22 AWG), providing additional flexibility for applications using larger gauge conductors while maintaining full compatibility with the original specification range.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and inventory requirements rather than technical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ED750/2 be used as a direct replacement for OSTEB020150 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The ED750/2 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both parts share identical pitch (5mm), current/voltage ratings (20A/300V), mounting configuration (through-hole, horizontal), and termination method (M3 screw cage clamp). PCB layouts and connector mating interfaces are compatible without modification.

Q: What is the difference in wire gauge acceptance between these parts?

A: OSTEB020150 accepts 12-22 AWG wire. ED750/2 accepts 12-30 AWG wire. The ED750/2 supports larger gauge conductors, but both parts fully support the original 12-22 AWG range. For applications using wire sizes within 12-22 AWG, both parts perform identically.

Q: Are there material or plating differences that affect performance?

A: Contact materials differ slightly (OSTEB020150 uses tin-plated brass; ED750/2 uses brass without specified plating). Both maintain equivalent electrical conductivity and current-carrying capacity at rated 20A. Housing materials also differ (thermoplastic versus polyamide/nylon), but both provide equivalent mechanical strength and environmental resistance across the -30°C to 105°C operating range.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both OSTEB020150 and ED750/2 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What torque specification should be used when installing either part?

A: OSTEB020150 specifies 0.49 Nm (4.3 Lb-In) screw torque. ED750/2 specifies 0.5 Nm (4.4 Lb-In). These values are equivalent for practical installation purposes. Use M3 screw fastening with torque within the 0.49-0.5 Nm range.
