OSTER020150 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OSTER020150 is a 2-position wire-to-board terminal block manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc., designed for horizontal PCB mounting with 0.138" (3.50mm) pitch spacing. This component features screw-based wire termination with a rising cage clamp mechanism and supports wire gauges from 16-24 AWG at 10 A and 300 V ratings.

The OSTER020150 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this terminal block.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the OSTER020150 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (10 A), voltage rating (300 V), and wire gauge acceptance (16-24 AWG) must match or exceed the original specification.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Pitch spacing (0.138" / 3.50mm), mating orientation (horizontal with board), and mounting type (through hole) must be identical.
• Termination Method: Wire termination mechanism (screw with rising cage clamp) and screw specifications (M2 thread, 0.2 Nm torque) must be equivalent.
• Physical Form Factor: 2-position, single-level configuration with side interlocking features must be maintained.

The substitute part YO0201500000G from Amphenol Anytek meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product with expanded inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The YO0201500000G serves as a direct functional equivalent to the OSTER020150. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The YO0201500000G is classified as an active product with significantly higher inventory availability (8602 units in stock versus 716 units for the obsolete OSTER020150). The substitute part provides an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 115°C versus -30°C ~ 105°C), which offers additional thermal margin for applications operating at temperature extremes.

Selection of the YO0201500000G is appropriate for new designs, production continuity, and replacement applications where the OSTER020150 is no longer available through standard supply channels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the YO0201500000G be used as a direct replacement for the OSTER020150 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The YO0201500000G is electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters, including pitch, current rating, voltage rating, wire gauge acceptance, and screw termination specifications. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between these two parts?

A: The OSTER020150 uses brass contacts with tin plating. The YO0201500000G uses copper alloy contacts with tin plating. Both materials are suitable for the specified electrical and environmental conditions.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of the YO0201500000G affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended operating range (-40°C ~ 115°C for the substitute versus -30°C ~ 105°C for the original) represents an expansion of the thermal envelope. Applications operating within the original temperature range remain fully compatible.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The OSTER020150 is supplied in standard packaging. The YO0201500000G is supplied in bulk packaging. Both formats are suitable for PCB assembly and integration into terminal block arrays.

Q: What certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the OSTER020150 and YO0201500000G are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8536.90.4000.
