Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the OSTHM088080 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 8 positions at 0.394" (10.00mm) spacing
• Electrical Ratings: 8A current, 250V voltage
• Wire Compatibility: 12-28 AWG wire gauge acceptance
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole vertical PCB orientation
• Termination Method: Screwless push-in spring mechanism
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH compliance status

The substitute part HM0880800000G meets all these criteria while offering improved product status (Active) and extended operating temperature range, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete OSTHM088080.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HM0880800000G from Amphenol Anytek is a direct substitute for the obsolete OSTHM088080. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and termination characteristics. The substitute part offers the advantage of active product status with extended operating temperature capability (-40°C to 115°C versus -30°C to 105°C), providing greater thermal margin for demanding applications. Both parts maintain full ROHS3 and REACH compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards. The tin-plated brass contacts on the substitute part provide enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the base brass plating of the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HM0880800000G be used as a direct replacement for OSTHM088080 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch spacing (10mm), position count (8), electrical ratings (8A/250V), wire gauge compatibility (12-28 AWG), and mounting configuration (through-hole vertical). The substitute part is mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the primary advantage of switching to HM0880800000G?

A: The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. It also provides an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 115°C) and tin-plated contacts for improved corrosion resistance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The OSTHM088080 is supplied in standard packaging, while HM0880800000G is supplied in bulk packaging. Both formats accommodate the same component specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the OSTHM088080 and HM0880800000G are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Is PCB layout modification required when substituting these parts?

A: No. Identical pitch spacing (10mm) and through-hole mounting configuration ensure direct PCB compatibility without layout changes.
