OSTED163150 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OSTED163150 is a 16-position wire-to-board terminal block manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc., designed for horizontal PCB mounting with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing. This component features screw-based rising cage clamp termination for secure wire connections and operates across a temperature range of -30°C to 105°C.

The OSTED163150 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures design continuity and supply chain reliability for applications requiring 16-position terminal block functionality with matching electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the OSTED163150 must maintain compatibility across the following critical parameters:

16 positions per level
0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing
Horizontal with board mating orientation
Through hole mounting
Screw-based rising cage clamp termination
M2 screw thread
300 V voltage rating
ROHS3 compliance

The identified substitutes meet these core requirements while accommodating variations in current capacity, wire gauge range, housing material, contact plating, and operating temperature limits. These variations remain within acceptable engineering tolerances for terminal block interchangeability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both EDZ602/16 and ED1631500000G are active production parts suitable for replacing the obsolete OSTED163150. Selection between these substitutes depends on application-specific requirements:

EDZ602/16 offers increased current capacity (10 A versus 8 A) and extended wire gauge compatibility (16-30 AWG versus 16-24 AWG), making it suitable for applications requiring higher current handling or flexible wire sizing. This part maintains the same operating temperature range as the original.

ED1631500000G provides an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 115°C versus -30°C to 105°C) and enhanced contact plating (brass with tin plating) and clamp plating (brass with nickel plating), offering improved corrosion resistance. Current and wire gauge specifications match the original OSTED163150 exactly.

Both substitutes maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility with the original design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EDZ602/16 be used in place of OSTED163150 in all applications?

A: EDZ602/16 is mechanically and electrically compatible with OSTED163150 for applications operating within the -30°C to 105°C range. The higher current rating (10 A) and extended wire gauge range (16-30 AWG) provide additional design flexibility without compromising compatibility.

Q: What is the primary advantage of ED1631500000G over EDZ602/16?

A: ED1631500000G extends the operating temperature range to -40°C to 115°C and features enhanced contact and clamp plating (tin and nickel respectively) for improved corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Current and wire gauge specifications remain identical to the original OSTED163150.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: EDZ602/16 and ED1631500000G are supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the original OSTED163150 packaging specification was not provided. Verify bulk packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do all three parts share the same PCB footprint?

A: All three parts maintain identical pitch (0.150"), position count (16), and through-hole mounting specifications, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility without design modification.

Q: Are there differences in screw torque specifications?

A: OSTED163150 specifies 0.25 Nm (2.2 Lb-In) screw torque, ED1631500000G specifies 0.245 Nm (2.17 Lb-In), and EDZ602/16 specifies 0.4 Nm (3.5 Lb-In). These variations reflect design differences in clamp material and geometry. Follow the torque specification of the selected substitute part during assembly.

Q: Which substitute is recommended for new designs?

A: Both EDZ602/16 and ED1631500000G are active production parts suitable for new designs. Selection should be based on specific application requirements regarding current capacity, temperature range, and environmental conditions.
