Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HM0360800000G is the direct substitute for OSTHM036080. The substitute part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 115°C versus -30°C to 105°C). Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH requirements. The tin plating on the brass contacts in HM0360800000G provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the unplated brass in the original part. Inventory availability is higher for the substitute part (1073 pcs versus 621 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HM0360800000G be used as a direct replacement for OSTHM036080 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical electrical ratings (8 A, 250 V), mechanical configuration (3 positions, 0.400" pitch), mounting type (Through Hole), and wire termination method (Screwless - Leg Spring, Push-In Spring). PCB footprints and assembly procedures remain unchanged.

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

A: OSTHM036080 uses unplated brass contacts. HM0360800000G uses tin-plated brass contacts, which provide improved corrosion resistance and oxidation protection in long-term storage and operational environments.

Q: Are there temperature rating differences that affect application suitability?

A: HM0360800000G operates across a wider temperature range (-40°C to 115°C) compared to OSTHM036080 (-30°C to 105°C). Both ratings exceed typical industrial operating conditions. The extended range in the substitute part provides additional margin for extreme environment applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both OSTHM036080 and HM0360800000G are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level). Regulatory and environmental compliance requirements are identical.

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

A: OSTHM036080 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. HM0360800000G maintains active status with ongoing production and supply chain support, making it the recommended choice for new designs and long-term production planning.
