OSTTS09715D Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OSTTS09715D is a 9-position terminal block plug manufactured by On Shore Technology Inc., featuring female sockets with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing. This component is designed for screw-terminated, free-hanging (in-line) applications requiring secure wire connections in the 12-24 AWG range. The part maintains Active product status with 911 units in current inventory stock.

Terminal block plugs require substitute evaluation when original stock becomes unavailable, when supply chain constraints necessitate alternative sourcing, or when design flexibility permits compatible alternatives that meet electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the OSTTS09715D is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count: Must equal 9 positions
• Pitch Tolerance: Nominal pitch of 5.00mm (0.197") to 5.08mm (0.200") represents acceptable mechanical compatibility within standard terminal block design tolerances
• Socket Type: Female sockets required for plug-to-socket mating
• Termination Method: Screw-based termination (including rising cage clamp variants) maintains functional equivalence
• Mounting Configuration: Free-hanging (in-line) orientation
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Minimum overlap of 12-24 AWG range
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 300 V UL rating
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating
• Regulatory Status: ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected

The Phoenix Contact 1835164 meets these substitution criteria through compatible pitch spacing (5.08mm), matching position count, equivalent voltage rating, overlapping wire gauge acceptance, and identical compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the OSTTS09715D and Phoenix Contact 1835164 maintain Active product status with current manufacturing support and full inventory availability. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH regulatory requirements, ensuring long-term supply chain viability and environmental compliance.

The pitch differential of 0.08mm (5.00mm versus 5.08mm) falls within standard mechanical tolerances for terminal block connector systems and does not compromise mating reliability or electrical performance. The Phoenix Contact substitute provides expanded wire gauge acceptance (12-30 AWG versus 12-24 AWG), offering broader application flexibility without reducing compatibility with the original specification range.

The rising cage clamp termination method employed by the 1835164 represents an enhanced screw termination variant that maintains functional equivalence while providing improved wire retention characteristics. Both components deliver identical UL voltage ratings (300 V) and flammability compliance (UL94 V-0).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1835164 directly replace the OSTTS09715D in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components feature 9 positions, compatible 5.00-5.08mm pitch spacing, female socket configuration, and free-hanging mounting orientation. The 0.08mm pitch tolerance is within standard connector design margins and does not affect mechanical or electrical mating.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch difference between 5.00mm and 5.08mm?

A: The 0.08mm difference represents a 1.6% tolerance variation. Terminal block connector systems are engineered to accommodate such pitch tolerances without compromising contact alignment, mating force, or electrical continuity. Both pitches are industry-standard spacing for 9-position plugs.

Q: Does the rising cage clamp termination method affect compatibility?

A: No. Rising cage clamp termination is a screw-based variant that maintains functional equivalence to standard screw termination. Both methods secure wires through mechanical clamping and provide equivalent electrical performance and reliability.

Q: Are there wire gauge limitations when substituting?

A: The OSTTS09715D accepts 12-24 AWG wire. The Phoenix Contact 1835164 accepts 12-30 AWG wire. Any wire within the 12-24 AWG range is compatible with both components. The substitute's expanded range does not create incompatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, UL94 V-0 rated, and classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) codes. Regulatory and environmental compliance is equivalent.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: OSTTS09715D: 911 units in stock. Phoenix Contact 1835164: 1047 units in stock. Both components maintain current Active product status with established supply availability.
