Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the OSTHM056080 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Specifications: Current rating (8 A), voltage rating (250 V), and wire gauge compatibility (12-28 AWG) must remain identical
• Physical Configuration: 5 positions per level, 0.400" (10.16mm) pitch, and vertical-with-board mating orientation are non-negotiable for PCB footprint compatibility
• Termination Method: Screwless push-in spring termination ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing wiring harnesses
• Compliance Standards: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status maintain regulatory alignment

The substitute part HM0560800000G manufactured by Amphenol Anytek meets all these criteria while offering active product status and improved operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HM0560800000G from Amphenol Anytek is a direct functional equivalent to the OSTHM056080. Both components maintain identical electrical ratings, physical dimensions, and termination characteristics required for PCB integration. The substitute part offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected requirements, maintaining regulatory compliance across applications. The extended operating temperature range of the HM0560800000G (-40°C ~ 115°C versus -30°C ~ 105°C) provides additional thermal margin for demanding environments without compromising performance in standard applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HM0560800000G be used as a direct replacement for OSTHM056080 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (0.400"), position count (5), mounting type (through hole), and mating orientation (vertical with board). PCB footprints are mechanically and electrically compatible.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 8 A at 250 V with 12-28 AWG wire gauge compatibility. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in contact material plating?

A: The OSTHM056080 uses brass contacts, while the HM0560800000G uses brass with tin plating. Tin plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and improved contact reliability in high-humidity or corrosive environments.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of HM0560800000G affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended operating range (-40°C ~ 115°C) is a performance enhancement that does not impact compatibility with applications designed for the original -30°C ~ 105°C range.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both OSTHM056080 and HM0560800000G are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The HM0560800000G is supplied in bulk packaging, with 745 pieces currently in stock as new original inventory.
