Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the OSTHM173080 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 17 positions at 0.150" (3.81mm) spacing
• Electrical Ratings: 8 A current, 300 V voltage minimum
• Wire Compatibility: 14-28 AWG wire gauge support
• Termination Method: Screwless push-in spring technology
• Mounting Configuration: Vertical orientation, through-hole PCB mounting
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH compliance

The substitute part HM1730800000G manufactured by Amphenol Anytek meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, providing a direct functional replacement for the obsolete OSTHM173080.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HM1730800000G from Amphenol Anytek is a direct functional equivalent to the OSTHM173080. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and termination characteristics. The substitute part offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: HM1730800000G is currently in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Enhanced Temperature Range: Operating range of -40°C ~ 115°C exceeds the original specification of -30°C ~ 105°C, providing broader environmental compatibility.
• Improved Contact Plating: Tin-plated brass contacts on the substitute part enhance corrosion resistance compared to unplated brass.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 and REACH compliance, meeting current environmental standards.

Selection of the HM1730800000G eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility with existing PCB designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HM1730800000G be used as a direct replacement for OSTHM173080 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical position counts, pitch spacing, electrical ratings, wire gauge compatibility, and termination methods. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between the contact materials?

A: The OSTHM173080 uses unplated brass contacts, while the HM1730800000G features tin-plated brass contacts. Tin plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and is suitable for all applications where the original part was specified.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of HM1730800000G affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended operating range (-40°C ~ 115°C versus -30°C ~ 105°C) represents an enhancement that maintains full backward compatibility. Applications operating within the original temperature specification will function identically.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The OSTHM173080 is listed with unspecified packaging, while HM1730800000G is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: What certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: Is the through-hole mounting footprint identical?

A: Yes. Both components use identical through-hole mounting with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing and vertical board orientation, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility.
