OSTEP130000 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OSTEP130000 is a 13-position terminal block header manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc., featuring male pins in an unshrouded configuration with 0.197" (5.00mm) vertical pitch and solder mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The substitute part OP1300000000G from Amphenol Anytek provides functional equivalence with enhanced specifications and active product status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute relationship between OSTEP130000 and OP1300000000G is established on the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: Both components feature 13 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in connector mating applications
• Header Configuration: Both are vertical-orientation, male-pin, unshrouded headers suitable for identical PCB layouts
• Voltage Rating: Both rated at 300 V, meeting equivalent electrical performance requirements
• Contact Finish: Both use tin mating finish, ensuring compatible contact characteristics
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, meeting identical regulatory and environmental requirements

The OP1300000000G represents an active product with enhanced specifications including higher current ratings (12A IEC / 15A UL), extended temperature range (-40°C ~ 115°C), and documented material composition (brass contacts, thermoplastic housing).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OP1300000000G is the designated substitute for the obsolete OSTEP130000 based on functional equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components maintain identical position counts, pitch specifications, voltage ratings, and compliance certifications.

The OP1300000000G offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 115°C vs. -30°C ~ 105°C) provides broader environmental compatibility
• Documented current ratings (12A IEC / 15A UL) establish explicit electrical performance boundaries
• Specified material composition (brass contacts, thermoplastic housing, UL94 V-0 flammability rating) provides complete technical documentation

Physical differences exist in contact tail length (0.138" vs. 0.157") and insulation height (0.079" vs. 0.157"), which require PCB layout verification during design transition. Both components are ROHS3 compliant with identical moisture sensitivity levels, supporting equivalent supply chain handling and storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are OSTEP130000 and OP1300000000G mechanically interchangeable?

A: Both components feature 13 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch with vertical male-pin unshrouded headers. However, differences in contact tail length (0.157" vs. 0.138") and insulation height (0.157" vs. 0.079") require PCB layout verification. Through-hole mounting of the OP1300000000G differs from the solder mounting of the OSTEP130000, necessitating PCB design adaptation.

Q: What is the voltage rating compatibility?

A: Both components are rated at 300 V (UL), meeting identical voltage performance requirements for standard terminal block applications.

Q: Are there current rating differences?

A: The OSTEP130000 does not specify current ratings in available documentation. The OP1300000000G is rated at 12A (IEC) and 15A (UL), establishing explicit current-carrying capacity for the substitute part.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both OSTEP130000 and OP1300000000G are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels. Both share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference?

A: OSTEP130000 operates from -30°C to 105°C. OP1300000000G extends this range to -40°C to 115°C, providing 10°C additional margin at both temperature extremes.

Q: How do the contact materials differ?

A: OSTEP130000 contact material is not specified. OP1300000000G uses brass contacts with tin mating finish and thermoplastic housing rated UL94 V-0, providing documented material specifications for the substitute part.
