Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the OSTV7217150 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Specifications: Current rating (10A UL), voltage rating (300V UL), and contact material (Phosphor Bronze) must match exactly
• Mechanical Configuration: 21 positions, 5.00mm pitch, vertical orientation, through-hole mounting, and solder termination are non-negotiable
• Physical Dimensions: Contact tail length (0.138" / 4.60mm), insulation height (0.748" / 19.00mm), and female socket type must be identical
• Material & Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, thermoplastic housing, ROHS3 compliance, and retention latches must be present
• Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) must support the application

The substitute part V72171500000G meets all these criteria while offering active product status and extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 115°C versus -30°C ~ 105°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The V72171500000G from Amphenol Anytek is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete OSTV7217150. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (10A, 300V), mechanical configuration (21 positions, 5.00mm pitch), and material specifications (Phosphor Bronze contacts, UL94 V-0 thermoplastic housing).

The substitute part offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 115°C) provides broader environmental compatibility compared to the original part (-30°C ~ 105°C). Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings, confirming equivalent regulatory and environmental performance.

Selection of V72171500000G is appropriate for direct replacement in applications currently using OSTV7217150, with no design modifications required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can V72171500000G be used as a direct replacement for OSTV7217150?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (10A at 300V), mechanical configuration (21 positions, 5.00mm pitch, vertical through-hole), contact material (Phosphor Bronze), and flammability certification (UL94 V-0). No circuit or PCB modifications are necessary.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?

A: The main difference is product status. OSTV7217150 is obsolete, while V72171500000G is active. Additionally, V72171500000G has an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 115°C versus -30°C ~ 105°C) and specifies tin contact mating finish.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical contact tail length (0.138" / 4.60mm), insulation height (0.748" / 19.00mm), and pitch spacing (5.00mm). PCB footprints are compatible.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and have MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level. Regulatory and environmental performance is equivalent.

Q: Why does V72171500000G specify tin contact finish while OSTV7217150 does not?

A: The tin contact mating finish on V72171500000G is a documented specification for the substitute part. This finish is standard for terminal block contacts and does not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: Is the extended temperature range of V72171500000G a concern?

A: No. The extended range (-40°C ~ 115°C) is a superset of the original part's range (-30°C ~ 105°C), providing equal or better performance across all operating conditions specified for OSTV7217150.
