Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the OSTEP200000 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 20 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing
• Connector Type: Male pins, unshrouded header configuration
• Orientation: Vertical mounting
• Voltage Rating: 300 V UL compliance
• Termination Method: Solder connection capability
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH compliance

The substitute part OP2000000000G by Amphenol Anytek meets these core electrical and mechanical requirements while maintaining functional compatibility with applications designed for the OSTEP200000.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OP2000000000G serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete OSTEP200000. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications at 300 V UL rating and share the same 20-position, 5.00mm pitch configuration. The substitute part carries active product status with expanded temperature operating range (-40°C ~ 115°C versus -30°C ~ 105°C), providing enhanced thermal margin for demanding applications.

Both parts maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards. The OP2000000000G is available in bulk packaging with 920 units in stock, supporting production requirements for systems requiring OSTEP200000 replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OP2000000000G be used as a direct replacement for OSTEP200000 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical position count (20), pitch spacing (5.00mm), header type (male pins, unshrouded), orientation (vertical), and voltage rating (300 V UL). The substitute part meets all core electrical and mechanical requirements for functional equivalence.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer identity, product status (obsolete versus active), and minor dimensional variations. The OP2000000000G features a slightly shorter contact tail length (0.138" versus 0.157") and reduced insulation height (0.079" versus 0.157"). The substitute part also specifies higher current ratings (12A IEC, 15A UL) and an expanded operating temperature range (-40°C to 115°C).

Q: Are there packaging considerations for the OP2000000000G?

A: The OP2000000000G is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the OSTEP200000 packaging specification was not provided. Confirm bulk packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the OSTEP200000 and OP2000000000G are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: What is the basis for substitution between these parts?

A: Substitution is based on matching critical parameters: 20-position count, 5.00mm pitch, vertical male pin header configuration, 300 V voltage rating, tin contact finish, and identical compliance certifications. These parameters define functional compatibility for terminal block header applications.
