Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the OSTHM098080 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: 9 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: Through-hole PCB mounting is required
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status must be preserved

The substitute part HM0980800000G meets all these criteria while offering improved product status (Active) and extended operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HM0980800000G from Amphenol Anytek is a direct functional equivalent to the OSTHM098080. Both components maintain identical electrical ratings, physical dimensions, and termination characteristics. The substitute part offers the advantage of active product status with extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 115°C versus -30°C to 105°C), providing greater thermal margin for demanding applications. Both parts maintain full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility across global markets. 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 HM0980800000G be used as a direct replacement for OSTHM098080 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (8A, 250V), physical configuration (9 positions, 10mm pitch), mounting type (through-hole), and termination method (screwless push-in spring). PCB layouts and electrical connections require no modification.

Q: What is the significance of the extended operating temperature range on the substitute part?

A: The HM0980800000G operates from -40°C to 115°C compared to -30°C to 105°C for the OSTHM098080. This extended range provides additional thermal margin and may improve reliability in temperature-sensitive applications, though both parts meet standard industrial operating conditions.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The OSTHM098080 packaging is listed as unspecified, while HM0980800000G is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Do the plating differences affect electrical performance?

A: Both parts use brass contacts with steel/stainless clamp materials. The tin plating on HM0980800000G contacts provides enhanced corrosion resistance without altering electrical performance or current-carrying capacity.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the OSTHM098080 and HM0980800000G are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and safety regulations for electronic components.
