Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the OSTHM058080 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Specifications: Current rating (8A), voltage rating (250V), and wire gauge compatibility (12-28 AWG) must remain identical
• Physical Configuration: 5 positions per level, 10mm pitch spacing, and vertical-with-board mating orientation are non-negotiable
• Termination Method: Screwless push-in spring termination must be maintained
• Mounting Interface: Through-hole PCB mounting with identical footprint requirements
• Material Composition: Thermoplastic housing with brass contacts ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility

The substitute part HM0580800000G from Amphenol Anytek meets all these criteria while offering improved product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and enhanced operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HM0580800000G from Amphenol Anytek is a direct functional equivalent to the OSTHM058080. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The substitute part offers the following advantages:

• Product Status: Active manufacturing status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 and REACH compliance, meeting current environmental standards
• Enhanced Operating Range: The HM0580800000G supports an extended temperature range (-40°C to 115°C versus -30°C to 105°C), providing greater thermal margin in demanding applications
• Contact Plating: Tin plating on the brass contacts in the substitute part provides improved corrosion resistance compared to unplated brass

For applications requiring the OSTHM058080, the HM0580800000G provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with improved long-term availability and environmental performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HM0580800000G be used as a direct replacement for OSTHM058080 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (8A, 250V), wire gauge compatibility (12-28 AWG), physical configuration (5 positions, 10mm pitch), and termination method (screwless push-in spring). PCB footprints are compatible for through-hole mounting.

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

A: The OSTHM058080 uses unplated brass contacts, while the HM0580800000G features tin-plated brass contacts. Tin plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and is standard in active production components.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of HM0580800000G affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended range (-40°C to 115°C versus -30°C to 105°C) represents an improvement that maintains full compatibility with applications designed for the original part's temperature specifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both OSTHM058080 and HM0580800000G are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The HM0580800000G is supplied in bulk packaging, with 892 pieces currently in stock as new original inventory.
