Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the OSTVF085050 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• 8-position configuration with 4 positions per level and 2 levels
• 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing
• Vertical orientation with male pins and dual-side shrouding
• Solder termination for through-hole mounting
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating
• Voltage rating of 300 V (UL) or higher
• Current rating of 12 A (UL) or higher

The Phoenix Contact 1845507 meets all substitution criteria while maintaining functional and mechanical compatibility with the OSTVF085050.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the OSTVF085050 and 1845507 maintain active product status and satisfy RoHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating. Selection between these components is based on application-specific requirements:

The OSTVF085050 provides a 15 A current rating at 300 V, suitable for applications requiring maximum current capacity within the 5.08mm pitch terminal block category.

The Phoenix Contact 1845507 delivers 12 A at 300 V with equivalent voltage performance and identical pitch, orientation, and shrouding configuration. The contact tail length differential (0.154" versus 0.138") and insulation height variation (0.866" versus 0.870") remain within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard PCB through-hole applications.

Both components satisfy UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain identical electrical classification under EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040 coding.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1845507 replace the OSTVF085050 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the application current requirement does not exceed 12 A at 300 V (UL). The 1845507 maintains identical pitch, position count, orientation, and shrouding configuration. Contact tail length and insulation height differences are within standard PCB tolerance ranges.

Q: What are the critical parameters for terminal block substitution?

A: Pitch spacing (0.200"), position configuration (8 positions, 4 per level, 2 levels), header type (male pins, dual-side shrouded), orientation (vertical), and termination method (solder through-hole) must remain constant. Voltage and current ratings must meet or exceed application requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the OSTVF085050 and 1845507 are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.

Q: What is the significance of the contact tail length difference?

A: The OSTVF085050 features 0.154" (3.90mm) contact tails while the 1845507 provides 0.138" (3.50mm) tails. This 0.016" difference accommodates standard PCB hole tolerances and does not affect electrical performance or mechanical seating in typical through-hole applications.

Q: Do both parts carry identical regulatory classifications?

A: Yes. Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS code 8536.69.4040, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment for export and tariff purposes.
