OSTHB060180 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OSTHB060180 is a 6-position wire-to-board terminal block manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc., designed for horizontal PCB mounting with side entry configuration. This component operates at 10 A and 300 V, accommodating wire gauges from 14-20 AWG with screwless push-button clamp termination. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable wire-to-board connections.

Substitute parts become necessary when addressing inventory constraints, regional availability, or specific manufacturing requirements while maintaining equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ED4101/6-KD qualifies as a direct substitute for the OSTHB060180 based on strict parameter equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts share identical ratings for current (10 A), voltage (300 V), wire gauge acceptance (14-20 AWG), pitch (0.197" / 5.00mm), position count (6), mounting method (through hole), and termination technology (screwless push-button clamp). Operating temperature ranges are identical (-30°C ~ 105°C), and both maintain side-entry interlocking features with horizontal board orientation.

Substitution is valid when the following parameters remain constant:

• Electrical ratings (current, voltage)
• Physical configuration (pitch, position count, orientation)
• Termination method and wire gauge compatibility
• Mounting interface (through hole)
• Operating temperature envelope
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the OSTHB060180 and ED4101/6-KD maintain Active product status with identical compliance certifications (ROHS3 and REACH Unaffected). Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements, as electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are fully equivalent. Both parts carry MSL rating 1, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ED4101/6-KD be used as a direct replacement for OSTHB060180 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts meet identical electrical specifications (10 A, 300 V), mechanical configuration (6 positions, 5.00mm pitch, through-hole mounting), and termination requirements (screwless push-button clamp). PCB footprints and mounting interfaces are compatible.

Q: Are there differences in housing material between these parts?

A: The OSTHB060180 uses thermoplastic housing, while ED4101/6-KD uses polyamide (PA) or nylon. Both materials meet the operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C) and maintain equivalent mechanical performance for this application.

Q: Do contact material differences affect substitution validity?

A: Contact material differences (brass versus copper plating) do not affect substitution validity when both parts meet the same current and voltage ratings. Both materials provide adequate conductivity and reliability for 10 A operation at 300 V.

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility for both parts?

A: Both OSTHB060180 and ED4101/6-KD accept wire gauges from 14-20 AWG, ensuring identical termination capability and connection reliability.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations for selection?

A: OSTHB060180 has 822 pieces in stock, while ED4101/6-KD has 1103 pieces available. Selection may depend on delivery timeline and supply chain requirements.
