OSTEB030150 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OSTEB030150 is a 3-position wire-to-board terminal block manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc., designed for horizontal PCB mounting with 5mm pitch spacing. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The terminal block accommodates 12-22 AWG wire gauges with a 20A current rating and 300V voltage specification, suitable for industrial control and power distribution circuits.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ED750/3 terminal block qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Identical current rating (20A) and voltage rating (300V)
• Mechanical Compatibility: Matching pitch (5.00mm), mating orientation (horizontal with board), and mounting type (through hole)
• Functional Equivalence: Same 3-position configuration with screw-based rising cage clamp termination
• Thermal Performance: Identical operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C)
• Fastener Specification: Matching M3 screw thread specification
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The ED750/3 represents an active product from the same manufacturer, providing continuity for applications currently using the obsolete OSTEB030150.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ED750/3 is the appropriate substitute for OSTEB030150 applications. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The ED750/3 offers the additional advantage of active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The extended wire gauge range (12-30 AWG versus 12-22 AWG) of the ED750/3 provides design flexibility without compromising compatibility with existing applications. Both parts maintain equivalent regulatory compliance certifications, including ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ED750/3 be used as a direct replacement for OSTEB030150 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The ED750/3 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including current rating, voltage rating, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, and screw termination specifications. PCB layouts and connector interfaces designed for OSTEB030150 are compatible with ED750/3.

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

A: OSTEB030150 accepts 12-22 AWG wire, while ED750/3 accepts 12-30 AWG wire. This extended range in ED750/3 does not affect compatibility with the original 12-22 AWG specification and provides additional flexibility for future design iterations.

Q: Are there packaging differences between OSTEB030150 and ED750/3?

A: OSTEB030150 is supplied in standard packaging, while ED750/3 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both formats contain identical components with no functional or electrical differences.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both OSTEB030150 and ED750/3 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting equivalent environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Why is OSTEB030150 classified as obsolete?

A: OSTEB030150 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. ED750/3 represents the active equivalent product line, ensuring continued availability and support for applications requiring this terminal block specification.
