Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the OSTEP070000 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Number of positions: 7
• Pitch spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Header orientation: Vertical
• Type configuration: Male pins, unshrouded
• Voltage rating: 300V minimum
• Mounting method: Solder-compatible termination

The substitute part OP0700000000G (Amphenol Anytek) satisfies all primary compatibility requirements. Both components maintain identical position count, pitch spacing, vertical orientation, and male pin configuration. Both are rated for 300V operation and utilize solder-based termination methods. The substitute part is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OP0700000000G from Amphenol Anytek is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete OSTEP070000. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications (300V rating), mechanical configuration (7-position, 5.00mm pitch, vertical orientation), and compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification).

The substitute part offers extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 115°C versus -30°C to 105°C), providing additional thermal margin for demanding applications. Both components carry unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) classification, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

The active product status of OP0700000000G ensures component availability, technical support, and supply chain continuity, addressing the obsolescence risk associated with the original OSTEP070000.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OP0700000000G be used as a direct replacement for OSTEP070000 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical position count (7), pitch spacing (5.00mm), orientation (vertical), pin configuration (male, unshrouded), and voltage rating (300V). The substitute part meets all functional and electrical requirements for direct substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), operating temperature range (OSTEP070000: -30°C to 105°C; OP0700000000G: -40°C to 115°C), and contact tail length (OSTEP070000: 0.157"; OP0700000000G: 0.138"). The substitute part provides wider temperature operation and improved supply availability.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99. Compliance certifications are equivalent between the two components.

Q: What is the impact of the different contact tail lengths?

A: The contact tail length difference (0.157" versus 0.138") reflects manufacturing variations between manufacturers. This dimension affects solder joint formation and PCB pad design. Verify PCB layout compatibility with the substitute part's 0.138" contact tail length before implementation.

Q: Is the extended temperature range of OP0700000000G a concern for compatibility?

A: No. The extended range (-40°C to 115°C) of the substitute part encompasses the original operating range (-30°C to 105°C). This provides additional thermal margin and does not create compatibility issues.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: OP0700000000G is supplied in bulk packaging, compared to the original part's unspecified packaging. Confirm bulk packaging meets procurement and handling requirements for your application.
