OSTEO070100 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OSTEO070100 is a 7-position terminal block plug manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc., designed for unshrouded headers with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing. This component features screw termination, free-hanging in-line mounting, and operates across -30°C to 105°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitutes essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the OSTEO070100 is constrained by the following critical parameters:

Pitch (0.197" / 5.00mm): The header spacing must match exactly to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing mating connectors.
Termination Style (Screw): Wire connection method must remain screw-based for compatibility with existing wiring practices.
Mounting Type (Free Hanging In-Line): The connector orientation and mounting configuration must align with PCB or panel layout requirements.
Voltage Rating (300 V UL): Electrical rating must meet or exceed the original specification.
Wire Gauge Compatibility (12-28 AWG): Wire acceptance range must accommodate the conductor sizes used in the application.
Operating Temperature Range: The substitute must function within the required thermal envelope.

The identified substitute EO0601000000G from Amphenol Anytek shares the critical pitch, termination style, mounting type, voltage rating, and wire gauge parameters. However, it differs in position count (6 vs. 7 positions), which represents a functional limitation requiring application-level assessment.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EO0601000000G qualifies as a functional substitute based on matched electrical and mechanical parameters: identical pitch, termination style, mounting configuration, voltage rating, wire gauge acceptance, and screw torque specification. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

The primary design consideration is the position count reduction from 7 to 6. This substitution is viable only when the application circuit design can accommodate a 6-position connector or when the 7th position is not utilized in the existing implementation.

The EO0601000000G offers advantages in product availability (active status vs. obsolete), extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 115°C vs. -30°C to 105°C), and improved material specifications (phosphor bronze contacts and thermoplastic housing with UL94 V-0 flammability rating). These characteristics support long-term supply chain reliability and enhanced environmental performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EO0601000000G directly replace the OSTEO070100 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the application uses 6 or fewer of the 7 available positions. The matched pitch (5.00mm), screw termination, voltage rating (300 V), and wire gauge range (12-28 AWG) ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility at the connector interface. If all 7 positions are actively used, alternative solutions must be evaluated.

Q: What are the material differences between these parts?

A: The OSTEO070100 uses brass for both contacts and housing. The EO0601000000G uses phosphor bronze contacts and thermoplastic housing with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. These material changes do not affect electrical performance within the specified voltage and current parameters but may influence mechanical durability and environmental resistance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the OSTEO070100 and EO0601000000G are ROHS3 compliant and carry unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) ratings, supporting use in standard manufacturing and storage environments.

Q: What is the significance of the OSTEO070100 being obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the OSTEO070100 is no longer manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc. The EO0601000000G, classified as active, is in current production by Amphenol Anytek, ensuring ongoing availability for new designs and replacement stock requirements.

Q: Do the screw torque specifications match?

A: Yes, both components specify identical screw torque of 0.51 Nm (4.5 Lb-In), ensuring consistent wire termination practices and mechanical reliability across substitution.
