OSTH409705D Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OSTH409705D is a 9-position terminal block plug manufactured by On-Shore Technology, featuring female sockets with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing and 270° wire entry orientation. This component is designed for free-hanging (in-line) applications with screwless push-in spring termination. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the OSTH409705D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: Both main and substitute parts must maintain 9 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors.
• Connector Type: Female socket plugs with identical termination methodology (screwless push-in spring) are required for direct replacement.
• Mounting Configuration: Free-hanging (in-line) orientation must be preserved.
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage rating of 300 V (UL) and wire gauge compatibility (12-26 AWG) establish the minimum electrical performance envelope.
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance ensure regulatory and safety standard alignment.

The Phoenix Contact 1910597 qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters. While the 1910597 features a 180° wire entry orientation (compared to the 270° orientation of the OSTH409705D), both components share identical position count, pitch, termination style, mounting type, and electrical specifications within the defined operating envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1910597 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete OSTH409705D based on electrical, mechanical, and regulatory alignment. The 1910597 maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both components meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS compliance standards, supporting equivalent safety and environmental certifications.

The primary design consideration is the wire entry orientation difference: the OSTH409705D features 270° entry while the 1910597 provides 180° entry. This difference requires evaluation within the specific application context to confirm mechanical fit and wire routing compatibility with the mating connector and enclosure design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1910597 directly replace the OSTH409705D in all applications?

A: The 1910597 is electrically and mechanically compatible based on position count, pitch, termination style, and voltage rating. However, the wire entry orientation differs (180° versus 270°). Physical integration must be confirmed for your specific enclosure and connector layout.

Q: What does the wire entry orientation difference mean for my design?

A: Wire entry orientation determines the angle at which wires approach the connector. The OSTH409705D accepts wires at 270°, while the 1910597 accepts wires at 180°. Your application must accommodate this geometric difference in wire routing and connector positioning.

Q: Are both parts rated for the same voltage and current specifications?

A: Both components are rated for 300 V (UL). The 1910597 provides additional current specifications (12 A IEC, 10 A UL) not listed for the OSTH409705D. Wire gauge compatibility is identical (12-26 AWG) for both parts.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The OSTH409705D is obsolete, meaning On-Shore Technology no longer manufactures or supports this component. The Phoenix Contact 1910597 maintains active status, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability for future procurement.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both components meet UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and RoHS compliance requirements. The OSTH409705D is ROHS3 compliant, while the 1910597 is RoHS compliant. Both satisfy equivalent environmental and safety standards for industrial terminal block applications.
